What this data can and can’t tell you
- Bands, not ranks. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of Ontario’s schools on that test; the card shows the average of a school’s fifths.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Eganville and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
