What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Inside Walkerville’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- 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.
- The year. The 2024-25 list.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. Ontario’s results are whole percentages with small groups left out, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
