What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. Listed for 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Ontario only, measure by measure, then average: never a place in a league table.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Thorncliffe Park or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
