What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- Which schools count. Inside Sainte-Pétronille’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- The year. Listed for 2025-26.
- 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.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
