How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Every school inside Highland Creek’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2024-25.
- 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.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Bands, not ranks. Ontario’s results are whole percentages with small groups left out, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
