What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- Which schools count. The area is St. Lawrence plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
- The year. ODEF, from 2019–22, is the only open list: newer schools may be missing.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
