What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Perry or within 3 km of it are here.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. The 2024-25 list.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. Ontario’s results are whole percentages with small groups left out, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
