What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Public schools here answer to a service centre (French) or a school board (English); private schools answer to their own boards.
- The year. The province’s 2025-26 list.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. The area is Chandler plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
