What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Inside Liverpool’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Each public school has a board or district, English or French; independent schools stand outside them.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
