An alternative school: a different setting for students who need one. The school is small, so the Ministry doesn’t publish its student numbers.

Students and families
The Ministry doesn’t publish background figures for small schools, so no one can work out facts about individual students.
Safety
The same as the typical Toronto public school.
Police place each report at the nearest intersection, so reports from another school close by can be counted here. Fisherville Sr & N/W Secondary Alternative is within 250 m, so the count may include reports there. Each offence counts once, so one event can count more than once.
