Ontario funds four systems side by side, and here all four overlap: a family picks English or French, public or Catholic, and each choice has its own board and its own schools.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The province’s school list, 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.
- Bands, not ranks. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of Ontario’s schools on that test; the card shows the average of a school’s fifths.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- Which schools count. Inside Stipeley’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
