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. The province’s 2025-26 list.
- One school, two buildings. Where a school spans two buildings, each is listed, with its name in brackets.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Saint-Roch-de-Richelieu and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
