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. Schools come from StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, so a recent opening or closure may not show.
- 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. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Pond Inlet’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
