One board, Centre de services scolaire des Appalaches, runs them all. No English-language school is among them; in Quebec, 10% of schools are. Because the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school, towns in Quebec aren’t graded on schools.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. A service centre runs the French-language public schools of its territory, a school board the English ones.
- The year. The open list of 2025-26.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Adstock or within 3 km of it are here.
