What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. Listed for 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- Which schools count. Inside Loretteville’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
