Getting a place
How children get a place in Forest Heights
Independent schools
Independent schools set their own admissions and fees; the province funds part of their costs where they meet its conditions.
Catholic schools
The province funds Catholic separate schools beside the public ones. Each separate board sets its own admission rules, usually giving Catholic families first place.
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.
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
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Forest Heights or within 3 km of it are here.
- Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
- The year. The provincial list for 2025/26.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
