How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The province’s 2024-25 list.
- 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.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Oakville and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- 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.
