What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Counted: Saint-Damase’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
- The year. The open list of 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. The French service centre and the English board each cover the whole territory with their own schools.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
