What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- The year. StatCan’s ODEF (2019–22) is the open source here; it may miss new schools.
- Boards and systems. The province’s public schools are run by districts in English and a French-language board; independents run themselves.
- Which schools count. Counted: Belfast’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
