What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Every school inside South Cameron’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- 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.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- The year. The 2024-25 list.
- Boards and systems. Boards are set by language and, in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, by faith: public or Catholic.
