What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Counted: Springdale’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
- The year. ODEF, from 2019–22, is the only open list: newer schools may be missing.
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
