What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. The province’s 2024-25 list.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- 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 kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Vincent or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
