What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside L'Islet or within 3 km of it are here.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- Boards and systems. The French service centre and the English board each cover the whole territory with their own schools.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025-26.
