Getting a place
How children get a place in Willow Park
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.
French-language schools
A child qualifies for a French-language school when a parent’s first language is French or a parent went to French school in Canada; an admissions committee can admit others.
The neighbourhood school
Children go to the board’s designated school for their address, unless another school agrees to take them.
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. Each school is elementary, secondary or all-grade by the grades it teaches; alternative, adult and online programs sit in a group of their own.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Willow Park and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- 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. 2025/26, the latest open list.
- 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. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
