What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. Listed for 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. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- 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.
- Which schools count. Counted: Carlow/Mayo’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
