What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Alnwick/Haldimand and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Bands, not ranks. Fifths are worked out among every Ontario school with a result on that measure, then averaged per school.
