What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Boards are set by language and, in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, by faith: public or Catholic.
- The year. The provincial list for 2024-25.
- Bands, not ranks. Fifths are worked out among every Ontario school with a result on that measure, then averaged per school.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- 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: Hornepayne’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
