What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Each public school belongs to a French service centre or an English board, whichever covers its address.
- The year. The open list of 2025-26.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- 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.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Châteauguay and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
