What this data can and can’t tell you
- Boards and systems. Public schools here answer to a service centre (French) or a school board (English); private schools answer to their own boards.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025-26.
- 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.
- 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. Inside Yamachiche’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
