How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- Which schools count. The area is Vaughan Metropolitan Centre plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- Boards and systems. Boards are set by language and, in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, by faith: public or Catholic.
- The year. The provincial list for 2024-25.
