What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The area is Pont-Rouge plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Each public school belongs to a French service centre or an English board, whichever covers its address.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
