What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Schools inside Durham-Sud and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Each public school belongs to a French service centre or an English board, whichever covers its address.
