What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Each public school has a board or district, English or French; independent schools stand outside them.
- The year. The open list is ODEF (2019–22), which may still show schools since closed.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- 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.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Whitbourne or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
