What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Every school inside Sainte-Madeleine’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Quebec organises public schools by language: service centres in French, school boards in English; private schools have neither.
- 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. Inspection reports with ratings don’t exist here, and the lists give enrolment for one year at most.
