What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- 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 school list, 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. A school counts when it sits inside Sainte-Sabine or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
