Getting a place
How children get a place in Forest Heights
Independent schools
Independent schools here charge fees but receive some provincial funding if they meet its standards.
Catholic schools
A separate (Catholic) board runs its own schools with public money and its own admission rules.
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
Each board draws attendance areas: a child’s home address gives a designated school in each system. Families register with the board, and a school outside the area takes a child only if it has room.
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. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- Which schools count. The area is Forest Heights plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
- The year. The open list of 2025/26.
- What isn’t here. What no open list gives: inspection grades, several years of enrolment, and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of Alberta’s schools; the card shows a school’s average fifth.
