What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- 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. Schools as listed for 2025-26.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Dolbeau-Mistassini and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
