What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Boards and systems. Public schools belong to English and French-language boards (or districts); independent schools run themselves.
- The year. Schools come from StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, so a recent opening or closure may not show.
- The kinds of school. Each school is elementary, secondary or all-grade by the grades it teaches; alternative, adult and online programs sit in a group of their own.
- Which schools count. A 3 km band around Orkney No. 244’s outline is included, as it is for every town on the site.
