What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- One school, two buildings. Where a school spans two buildings, each is listed, with its name in brackets.
- Boards and systems. Language, not faith, divides Quebec’s public schools: French service centres and English boards share the map.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025-26.
- 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. The page takes in schools within Grande-Rivière and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
