One board, Centre de services scolaire des Rives-du-Saguenay, runs them all. We don’t grade schools in Quebec. The reason: the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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. A school counts when it sits inside L'Anse-Saint-Jean or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- The year. The province’s 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. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
