What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Brigham or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- The year. Listed for 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Language, not faith, divides Quebec’s public schools: French service centres and English boards share the map.
