The school in and around Arctic Bay
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
- The year. StatCan’s ODEF (2019–22) is the open source here; it may miss new schools.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Arctic Bay’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
