What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Saint-Joachim-de-Shefford and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- Boards and systems. The French service centre and the English board each cover the whole territory with their own schools.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025-26.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
