Getting a place
How children get a place in Parkdale
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.
French-language schools
The French boards take rights-holders’ children by right and others by committee.
Catholic schools
A separate (Catholic) board runs its own schools with public money and its own admission rules.
Independent schools
Independent schools here charge fees but receive some provincial funding if they meet its standards.
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 fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- What isn’t here. Enrolment is a single year, where published at all, and no inspectorate rates schools.
- Boards and systems. The board is the public body that runs a school; this province has English and French boards, each public or Catholic.
- The year. The province’s 2025/26 list.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Parkdale and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
