Getting a place
How children get a place in Elbow Park
The neighbourhood school
Each board draws attendance areas: a child’s home address gives a designated school in each system. Families register with the board, and a school outside the area takes a child only if it has room.
French-language schools
Eligibility comes from the parents: French as a first language, or French schooling in Canada; otherwise, the board’s admissions committee decides.
Catholic schools
A separate (Catholic) board runs its own schools with public money and its own admission rules.
Independent schools
An independent school decides whom it takes and what it charges; provincial grants cover part of the cost.
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. 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. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- Boards and systems. Public and Catholic boards are both publicly funded here, in English and in French; an independent school answers to no board.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2025/26.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. Counted: Elbow Park’s own schools and any within 3 km of its edge.
