What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Saint-Gabriel’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- Boards and systems. Quebec’s public schools come under French service centres or English school boards, by language since 1998; private schools stand apart.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025-26.
