What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Navan - Sarsfield or within 3 km of it are here.
- Boards and systems. Public and Catholic boards are both publicly funded here, in English and in French; an independent school answers to no board.
- The year. The province’s 2024-25 list.
- Bands, not ranks. A school with no reported result has no band; one with several averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
