What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Schools inside Old Ottawa East and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- Bands, not ranks. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of Ontario’s schools on that test; the card shows the average of a school’s fifths.
- The year. 2024-25, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
