What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Schools inside Melfort and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- The year. The schools are those in ODEF, 2019–22; check with the board for any opened since.
- Boards and systems. The French-language board covers the whole province, the English districts one area each.
