What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. ODEF, from 2019–22, is the only open list: newer schools may be missing.
- Boards and systems. The French-language board covers the whole province, the English districts one area each.
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Nipawin or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
