What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Harbour Breton’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
- The year. An older list, StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, is used here.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
