What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Wellington’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- Boards and systems. Each public school has a board or district, English or French; independent schools stand outside them.
- The year. The schools are those in ODEF, 2019–22; check with the board for any opened since.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
