What this data can and can’t tell you
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- The year. Listed for 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- Which schools count. The area is Saint-Gabriel-de-Brandon plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
