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. The page takes in schools within Frontenac Islands and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- Boards and systems. Boards come in one language each, and where the province funds Catholic schools, as public or Catholic; independent schools stand outside them.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2024-25.
- Bands, not ranks. Each result is placed in a fifth of Ontario’s schools on the same measure; a school’s band averages its fifths. EQAO doesn’t report small groups, so no school is ranked to the place.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
