What this data can and can’t tell you
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Ontario only, measure by measure, then average: never a place in a league table.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- 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.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Augusta or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
