What this data can and can’t tell you
- 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 provincial list for 2025-26.
- One school, two buildings. Where a school spans two buildings, each is listed, with its name in brackets.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- 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.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Uashat 27’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
