What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. A service centre runs the French-language public schools of its territory, a school board the English ones.
- The year. As the province lists them in 2025-26.
- 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 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. Counted: Saint-Marc-sur-Richelieu’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
