What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Crestview-Tanglewood and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- The year. Listed for 2024-25.
- 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. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Ontario only, measure by measure, then average: never a place in a league table.
