What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Every school inside Frontenac’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- 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.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Quebec’s public schools come under French service centres or English school boards, by language since 1998; private schools stand apart.
