What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- Which schools count. Inside L'Ancienne-Lorette’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- Boards and systems. Each public school belongs to a French service centre or an English board, whichever covers its address.
- The year. The 2025-26 list.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
