What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- Which schools count. Inside Bonfield’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- Boards and systems. Each board covers a territory in one language and one system, public or Catholic; boards of different systems overlap.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2024-25.
- Bands, not ranks. A school with no reported result has no band; one with several averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
