What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Which schools count. The area is Cookshire-Eaton plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
- 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.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025-26.
