What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Inch Park and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- 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.
- 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. Each board covers a territory in one language and one system, public or Catholic; boards of different systems overlap.
