What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Schools inside Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- The year. The province’s 2025-26 list.
- Boards and systems. Language, not faith, divides Quebec’s public schools: French service centres and English boards share the map.
