What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside La Loche or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Boards and systems. English and French boards share the province, each with its own schools; there are no separate Catholic boards here.
- The year. Statistics Canada’s ODEF, 2019–22: the latest open list for this province.
