Centre de services scolaire René-Lévesque runs every one of them. We don’t grade schools in Quebec. The reason: the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school.

How children get a place in Paspébiac
The neighbourhood school
Each board draws attendance areas: a child’s home address gives a designated school in each system. Families register with the board, and a school outside the area takes a child only if it has room.
English schools in Quebec
English public schooling in Quebec needs a certificate of eligibility, usually earned through a parent’s English elementary schooling in Canada; other children attend French schools.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The provincial list for 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Paspébiac’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
