What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The province’s 2024-25 list.
- Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- 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.
- Which schools count. Counted: Elizabethtown-Kitley’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
