What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Uptown’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- The year. Listed for 2024-25.
- 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. Fifths are worked out among every Ontario school with a result on that measure, then averaged per school.
