What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Inside Ripon’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- 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.
- One school, two buildings. Where a school spans two buildings, each is listed, with its name in brackets.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Language, not faith, divides Quebec’s public schools: French service centres and English boards share the map.
