What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Long Sault and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- 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.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
