What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Which schools count. Inside Saint-Norbert-d'Arthabaska’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- One school, two buildings. Where a school spans two buildings, each is listed, with its name in brackets.
- 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. Public schools here answer to a service centre (French) or a school board (English); private schools answer to their own boards.
- The year. The open list of 2025-26.
