What this data can and can’t tell you

- Which schools count. The area is Algoma, Unorganized, North Part plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Bands, not ranks. A band is the fifth of Ontario’s schools a result falls in, averaged over the school’s measures; small groups go unreported, so places would overstate it.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2024-25.
