What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Every school inside North End East’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- 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.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. A public school belongs to a board of one language; in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan a board is also public or Catholic. An independent school runs itself.
