- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- Which schools count. The area is Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
