What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Each public school belongs to a French service centre or an English board, whichever covers its address.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025-26.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- One school, two buildings. A school in two buildings appears twice, once per building, as the ministry lists them.
- 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.
- Which schools count. Inside Wickham’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
