The neighbourhood school

What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025-26.
- 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. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines or within 3 km of it are here.
