A standing for St. Justin, not a grade

Thorncliff’s School Grade, on its Schools page, is where St. Justin counts towards a letter.
Getting a place at St. Justin
Where a family lives sets the school: each board draws a catchment around every one of its schools, and a child living inside it has a place there. Other schools take children from outside when they have room.
The province funds Catholic separate schools beside the public ones. Each separate board sets its own admission rules, usually giving Catholic families first place.
