What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. Inside Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- The year. The 2025-26 list.
