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.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. A service centre runs the French-language public schools of its territory, a school board the English ones.
- Which schools count. Counted: Scott’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- 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.
