What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. The French service centre and the English board each cover the whole territory with their own schools.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025-26.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- Which schools count. Counted: Forestville’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
