Identification of schools in disadvantaged areas
The Ministry of Education (MEQ) calculates two poverty indexes annually based on data from the Canadian Census on Quebec families with children aged 0-18: Socioeconomic Environment Index and Low Income Index. A Montreal School for All uses both indices in its annual calculation of the Montreal index.
