One board, Centre de services scolaire des Chênes, runs them all. We don’t grade schools in Quebec. The reason: the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school.

Schooling in English and French around Saint-Lucien
Each school by its language of instruction, with the share in Quebec marked.
The mark on each bar is the share of schools in Quebec.
Not one teaches in English.
Quebec’s Charter of the French Language sends most children to French-language schools; English public schooling is for children who hold a certificate of eligibility.
Who runs Saint-Lucien’s schools
Each level’s schools by system: the French service centres, the English boards, independent and other schools.
Only one system is present here: every one French service centres.
The provincial school lists: each school’s board, language and Catholic or public status.
How children get a place in Saint-Lucien
The neighbourhood school
Each board draws attendance areas: a child’s home address gives a designated school in each system. Families register with the board, and a school outside the area takes a child only if it has room.
English schools in Quebec
Bill 101 limits English public schools to eligible children, mostly those with a parent schooled in English in Canada.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025-26.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- What isn’t here. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Saint-Lucien or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
