What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Inside Armour’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- 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.
