What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- Boards and systems. Language, not faith, divides Quebec’s public schools: French service centres and English boards share the map.
- The year. The 2025-26 list.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- Which schools count. Counted: Senneterre’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
