What this data can and can’t tell you
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Boards and systems. French-language public schools belong to service centres (centres de services scolaires), English ones to school boards; private schools run themselves.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025-26.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Stratford and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
