What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Counted: Swift Current’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- The year. StatCan’s ODEF (2019–22) is the open source here; it may miss new schools.
- Boards and systems. Each public school has a board or district, English or French; independent schools stand outside them.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
