What this data can and can’t tell you

- Bands, not ranks. Fifths are worked out among every Ontario school with a result on that measure, then averaged per school.
- The year. The provincial list for 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- Which schools count. Counted: Hampton Heights’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
