Data excludes private schools, school authorities, provincial/demonstration schools, Education and Community Partnership Program (ECPP) facilities, summer, night and adult continuing education day schools

To protect student privacy, numbers are suppressed in categories with less than 10 students and enrolment totals have been rounded to the nearest five.

Special education data on the identification of exceptionality and placement can vary by board, as boards may provide special education programs and services to students even if the students have not been identified as exceptional pupils by an Identification, Placement and Review Committee (IPRC).

Non-identified category refers to students receiving special education programs and services who are not identified as exceptional pupils by an IPRC.
