What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Each school is elementary, secondary or all-grade by the grades it teaches; alternative, adult and online programs sit in a group of their own.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Chapais’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- 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. Listed for 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. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
