What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Moosonee and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- 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. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. The 2024-25 list.
