What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Each school is elementary, secondary or all-grade by the grades it teaches; alternative, adult and online programs sit in a group of their own.
- Which schools count. Inside Roxton’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- The year. The open list of 2025-26.
- 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. Where a school spans two buildings, each is listed, with its name in brackets.
