French-language schools

Attendance zones do the sorting here. Inside the zone a child is in; outside it, the answer turns on how full the school is.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Sunningdale or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. Public and Catholic boards are both publicly funded here, in English and in French; an independent school answers to no board.
- 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. Ontario’s results are whole percentages with small groups left out, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
