What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Sheshatshiu 3 and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- The year. An older list, StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, is used here.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
