What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Plessisville’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- The year. 2025-26, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
