- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2024-25.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. EQAO publishes shares at the provincial standard; the band places each among Ontario’s schools by fifths.
