Getting a place
How children get a place in Carlton
The neighbourhood school
No application round, no lottery: the address fixes the school, and the board handles the paperwork.
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
- Bands, not ranks. The PAT shares at the acceptable standard and at excellence are each placed by fifths among Alberta’s schools.
- 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. The 2025/26 list.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Carlton and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
