1 are inside the town itself and 3 lie within 3 km of its edge. We don’t grade schools in Quebec. The reason: the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school.
Where the 4 schools in and around Plaisance are
Each pin is a school, coloured by the system that runs it, sized by its students where the province publishes them.

Schooling in English and French around Plaisance
Each school by its language of instruction, with the share in Quebec marked.
The mark on each bar is the share of schools in Quebec.
Not one teaches in English.
Quebec’s Charter of the French Language sends most children to French-language schools; English public schooling is for children who hold a certificate of eligibility.
Who runs Plaisance’s schools
Each level’s schools by system: the French service centres, the English boards, independent and other schools.
A single system: every one French service centres.
The provincial school lists: each school’s board, language and Catholic or public status.
Which of the 2 boards runs which school
Every board or service centre with a school in the area, and its schools.
Centre de services scolaire au Coeur-des-Vallées counts 3, more than any of the other boards of the 2. The French service centre and the English board cover the same territory, each with its own schools.
| Board | System | Schools | Students |

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. A school counts when it sits inside Plaisance or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- Boards and systems. Each public school belongs to a French service centre or an English board, whichever covers its address.
- The year. The open list of 2025-26.
