What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. The province’s 2024-25 list.
- Bands, not ranks. Ontario’s results are whole percentages with small groups left out, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- Which schools count. The area is Minden Hills plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
