What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The schools are those in ODEF, 2019–22; check with the board for any opened since.
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Kingston and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
