What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Saint-Roch-de-l'Achigan and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- Boards and systems. Each public school belongs to a French service centre or an English board, whichever covers its address.
- The year. The provincial list for 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. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
