What this data can and can’t tell you

- The year. The open list of 2025-26.
- 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. Where a school spans two buildings, each is listed, with its name in brackets.
- 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 area is Hébertville plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
