What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Rolston’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- Bands, not ranks. Each result is placed in a fifth of Ontario’s schools on the same measure; a school’s band averages its fifths. EQAO doesn’t report small groups, so no school is ranked to the place.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
- The year. The provincial list for 2024-25.
