What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
- The year. The list is Statistics Canada’s ODEF (2019–22): schools opened since are missing, and some closed since may still appear.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Alberton’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
