What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Quebec’s public schools come under French service centres or English school boards, by language since 1998; private schools stand apart.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025-26.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Caplan’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
