What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Counted: Britannia’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- The year. Listed for 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. Boards are set by language and, in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, by faith: public or Catholic.
- 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. Bands compare within Ontario only, measure by measure, then average: never a place in a league table.
