What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The provincial list for 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. Each board covers a territory in one language and one system, public or Catholic; boards of different systems overlap.
- 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. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Which schools count. The area is Greater Madawaska plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
