- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- The year. The province’s 2024-25 list.
- Boards and systems. Each board covers a territory in one language and one system, public or Catholic; boards of different systems overlap.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Munster - Ashton’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
