What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Quebec organises public schools by language: service centres in French, school boards in English; private schools have neither.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
- 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.
- Which schools count. The area is Saint-Arsène plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
