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. Schools inside Plessisville and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- 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. As the province lists them in 2025-26.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
