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. Inside Holyrood’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Boards and systems. Each public school has a board or district, English or French; independent schools stand outside them.
- The year. Statistics Canada’s ODEF, 2019–22: the latest open list for this province.
