Photo: Photographe inconnu - Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, Rimouski · Public domainOne of the 3 schools around Price teaches in English
Commission scolaire Eastern Shores runs them: École de Métis-sur-Mer. Counting a 3 km margin, Price has 2 elementary schools and 1 school for every grade. We don’t grade schools in Quebec. The reason: the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Price or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. Each school is elementary, secondary or all-grade by the grades it teaches; alternative, adult and online programs sit in a group of their own.
- The year. The 2025-26 list.
- Boards and systems. A service centre runs the French-language public schools of its territory, a school board the English ones.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
