What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Schools inside Île-à-la-Crosse and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- 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.
- The year. StatCan’s ODEF (2019–22) is the open source here; it may miss new schools.
- Boards and systems. Public schools come under a board of one language; independent schools are run privately.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
