What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. 2025-26, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. Quebec organises public schools by language: service centres in French, school boards in English; private schools have neither.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- One school, two buildings. Buildings are listed separately in Quebec, so some schools appear twice.
- Which schools count. The area is Témiscaming plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- 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.
