What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. A service centre runs the French-language public schools of its territory, a school board the English ones.
- The year. Schools as listed for 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. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Lac-Etchemin and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
