What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. The area is Lyster plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- Boards and systems. Each public school belongs to a French service centre or an English board, whichever covers its address.
- The year. 2025-26, the latest open list.
