What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Fifty Point and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. 2024-25, the latest open list.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Bands, not ranks. A band is the fifth of Ontario’s schools a result falls in, averaged over the school’s measures; small groups go unreported, so places would overstate it.
