What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. French-language public schools belong to service centres (centres de services scolaires), English ones to school boards; private schools run themselves.
- The year. The province’s 2025-26 list.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Rivière-Ouelle’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
