What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The area is Greenboro West plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Bands, not ranks. Ontario’s results are whole percentages with small groups left out, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
