- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- The year. The open list of 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. English and French boards share the province, each with its own schools; there are no separate Catholic boards here.
