What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Ontario only, measure by measure, then average: never a place in a league table.
- Boards and systems. Boards come in one language each, and where the province funds Catholic schools, as public or Catholic; independent schools stand outside them.
- The year. The 2024-25 list.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- Which schools count. Inside Stone Mills’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
