What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. A service centre runs the French-language public schools of its territory, a school board the English ones.
- Which schools count. Inside Saint-Césaire’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- 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.
