What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Quebec’s public schools come under French service centres or English school boards, by language since 1998; private schools stand apart.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025-26.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- One school, two buildings. Where a school spans two buildings, each is listed, with its name in brackets.
- 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. Inside Labrecque’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
