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. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private 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 Amos or within 3 km of it are here.
