What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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. Counted: Strathroy’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- Bands, not ranks. A school with no reported result has no band; one with several averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2024-25.
