What this data can and can’t tell you
- Bands, not ranks. EQAO publishes shares at the provincial standard; the band places each among Ontario’s schools by fifths.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
- The year. The provincial list for 2024-25.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Stouffville’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
