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. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Yorkton and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- 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.
