What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The area is Gambo plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- The year. StatCan’s ODEF (2019–22) is the open source here; it may miss new schools.
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
