What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Every school inside Hinchinbrooke’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- The year. 2025-26, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. The French service centre and the English board each cover the whole territory with their own schools.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
