Getting a place
How children get a place in Forest Lawn
The neighbourhood school
Families enrol through the board, which assigns the school serving their street; transfers depend on space.
Catholic schools
Catholic separate schools are publicly funded here; each separate board decides whom it admits, Catholic families first.
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
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- The year. Listed for 2025/26.
- What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
- 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.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- Which schools count. Each school is placed by its address point; those inside Forest Lawn or within 3 km of it are here.
