- Bands, not ranks. Ontario’s results are whole percentages with small groups left out, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Which schools count. The area is Queenswood Heights plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
