What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. The list is Statistics Canada’s ODEF (2019–22): schools opened since are missing, and some closed since may still appear.
- Boards and systems. A school’s board decides its language; the province funds no separate Catholic system.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Which schools count. Counted: La Ronge’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
