What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The schools are those in ODEF, 2019–22; check with the board for any opened since.
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Wabush or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. Each school is elementary, secondary or all-grade by the grades it teaches; alternative, adult and online programs sit in a group of their own.
