What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Mountview and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- 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.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- The year. 2024-25, the latest open list.
