What this data can and can’t tell you
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Ontario only, measure by measure, then average: never a place in a league table.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- The year. Listed for 2024-25.
- 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. Every school inside Corman’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
