What this data can and can’t tell you
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- 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.
- Which schools count. Inside Haliburton Village’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- 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.
