What this data can and can’t tell you

- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- The year. The open list of 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Quebec’s public schools come under French service centres or English school boards, by language since 1998; private schools stand apart.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Pointe-Lebel’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
