Getting a place
How children get a place in Deer Run
The neighbourhood school
Children go to the board’s designated school for their address, unless another school agrees to take them.
French-language schools
French-language schools are for children of section 23 rights-holders first; the board may admit others case by case.
Independent schools
Independent schools choose their students and charge fees, with part of their costs paid by the province when they qualify.
Catholic schools
Catholic separate schools are publicly funded here; each separate board decides whom it admits, Catholic families first.
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
- Bands, not ranks. Each result is placed in a fifth of Alberta’s schools on the same measure; a school’s band averages its fifths. Alberta suppresses small groups, so no school is ranked to the place.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- The year. The open list of 2025/26.
