What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Rivière-Rouge or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- The year. 2025-26, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. Public schools here answer to a service centre (French) or a school board (English); private schools answer to their own boards.
