What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. An older list, StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, is used here.
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Pasadena’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
