How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Each board covers a territory in one language and one system, public or Catholic; boards of different systems overlap.
- The year. The province’s 2024-25 list.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Ontario only, measure by measure, then average: never a place in a league table.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around North Riverdale’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
