- Which schools count. Inside Nipissing’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- Boards and systems. A public school belongs to a board of one language; in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan a board is also public or Catholic. An independent school runs itself.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2024-25.
- Bands, not ranks. A school with no reported result has no band; one with several averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
