Getting a place
How children get a place in Castleridge
French-language schools
French-language schools are for children of section 23 rights-holders first; the board may admit others case by case.
Catholic schools
Separate boards admit by their own policies, most giving priority to Catholic families.
Independent schools
Fees and admissions are each independent school’s own; the province covers a share of costs for those that meet its rules.
The neighbourhood school
Boards set boundaries for each school; living inside one guarantees a place there, and moving across one usually means a request.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

How to read these numbers
What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Schools inside Castleridge and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. Schools are grouped by what they teach: elementary, secondary, every grade, and the alternative, adult and online programs.
- Bands, not ranks. A band is the fifth of Alberta’s schools a result falls in, averaged over the two PAT measures; suppressed groups would make places misleading.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Each board covers a territory in one language and one system, public or Catholic; boards of different systems overlap.
