What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Vernon River’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Boards and systems. Boards here split by language only: English districts and a French-language board.
- The year. Schools come from StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, so a recent opening or closure may not show.
