What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Melville and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- The year. An older list, StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, is used here.
- Boards and systems. English and French boards share the province, each with its own schools; there are no separate Catholic boards here.
