What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- 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.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Upper Island Cove or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
