What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- Boards and systems. A service centre runs the French-language public schools of its territory, a school board the English ones.
- The year. Listed for 2025-26.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Saint-André-Avellin and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
