What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Brooke-Alvinston and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- Bands, not ranks. A school with no reported result has no band; one with several averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- Boards and systems. A public school belongs to a board of one language; in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan a board is also public or Catholic. An independent school runs itself.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2024-25.
