What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- 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. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- Which schools count. Counted: Havelock’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
