What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. Counted: Saint-Joseph-de-Coleraine’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- The year. The 2025-26 list.
