What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Tecumseh’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Ontario only, measure by measure, then average: never a place in a league table.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. Public and Catholic boards are both publicly funded here, in English and in French; an independent school answers to no board.
