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. A school counts when it sits inside Magog or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Boards and systems. French-language public schools belong to service centres (centres de services scolaires), English ones to school boards; private schools run themselves.
- The year. The 2025-26 list.
