Getting a place
How children get a place in Wellington
The neighbourhood school
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.
French-language schools
The French boards take rights-holders’ children by right and others by 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 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. Fifths are worked out among every Alberta school with a PAT result, then averaged per school.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025/26.
- The kinds of school. Elementary schools run from kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary ones to Grade 12; some cover every grade, and alternative, adult and online schools are listed apart.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Wellington and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
