What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Language, not faith, divides Quebec’s public schools: French service centres and English boards share the map.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025-26.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Racine or within 3 km of it are here.
