What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Quebec organises public schools by language: service centres in French, school boards in English; private schools have neither.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025-26.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Which schools count. The area is Kuujjuaq plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
