What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The list is Statistics Canada’s ODEF (2019–22): schools opened since are missing, and some closed since may still appear.
- Boards and systems. English and French boards share the province, each with its own schools; there are no separate Catholic boards here.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Stratford’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
