What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The open list of 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Cachet and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
