Getting a place
How children get a place in Brookside
French-language schools
French-language boards admit the children of rights-holders under section 23 of the Charter (a parent whose first language is French, or who was schooled in French in Canada), and may admit others through an admissions committee.
Catholic schools
Catholic schools are public here, run by separate boards that set their own admissions.
Independent schools
An independent school decides whom it takes and what it charges; provincial grants cover part of the cost.
The neighbourhood school
Boards set boundaries for each school; living inside one guarantees a place there, and moving across one usually means a request.
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
- Which schools count. Every school inside Brookside’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. Grades shown are the published range, from junior kindergarten (JK) upward.
- 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. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- The year. Listed for 2025/26.
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
