Ontario School Statistics and Financial Data

Provincial-level data covers Ontario's publicly-funded and private schools, including school counts, student enrollment, French language programs, educator numbers, and school board financial information. The Government of Ontario compiled this data, with the latest update in February 2026. Reports are aggregated from the Ontario School Information System (OnSIS) and the Education Financial Information System (EFIS).
