Centre de services scolaire de Portneuf is the only board. The ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school, which leaves towns in Quebec without a schools grade.

How children get a place in Saint-Alban
English schools in Quebec
Eligibility for English schooling comes from the family’s schooling history; without a certificate, a child goes to a French school.
The neighbourhood school
Where a family lives sets the school: each board draws a catchment around every one of its schools, and a child living inside it has a place there. Other schools take children from outside when they have room.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Saint-Alban or within 3 km of it are here.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- The year. The 2025-26 list.
- Boards and systems. Language, not faith, divides Quebec’s public schools: French service centres and English boards share the map.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
