What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Stanley Park’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Ontario only, measure by measure, then average: never a place in a league table.
