What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Boards here split by language only: English districts and a French-language board.
- The year. An older list, StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, is used here.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Tuktoyaktuk or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
