What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
- Boards and systems. A service centre runs the French-language public schools of its territory, a school board the English ones.
- The year. The 2025-26 list.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Rivière-Bleue or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
