Getting a place
How children get a place in Spruce Cliff
The neighbourhood school
Ask the board first. It holds the enrolment list and points each street to its own school; out-of-area requests go ahead only with space to spare.
French-language schools
Section 23 rights-holders, francophone parents or those schooled in French in Canada, have a place; others apply to the board’s committee.
Independent schools
Fees and admissions are each independent school’s own; the province covers a share of costs for those that meet its rules.
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
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. Fifths are worked out among every Alberta school with a PAT result, then averaged per school.
- The year. 2025/26, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Spruce Cliff or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
