What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. 2025-26, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- One school, two buildings. Where a school spans two buildings, each is listed, with its name in brackets.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Lac-Brome and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
