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. The page takes in schools within The Archipelago and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- 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 2024-25 list.
- Bands, not ranks. EQAO publishes shares at the provincial standard; the band places each among Ontario’s schools by fifths.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
