How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Schools inside North St.James Town and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- The year. The 2024-25 list.
- Boards and systems. A public school belongs to a board of one language; in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan a board is also public or Catholic. An independent school runs itself.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Bands, not ranks. EQAO publishes shares at the provincial standard; the band places each among Ontario’s schools by fifths.
