Schools in Westdale: 4 boards, side by side
Pembina Trails School Division leads with 8 schools, alongside St. James-Assiniboia School Division, Independent Schools and Arch. of Winnipeg Catholic Schools. Its 3 km reach takes in 13 elementary schools and 2 secondary schools, all of Westdale’s schooling. Because the province publishes no results school by school, towns in Manitoba aren’t graded on schools.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Inside Westdale’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- The year. Schools come from StatCan’s ODEF of 2019–22, so a recent opening or closure may not show.
- Boards and systems. Two systems share the province, English and French, each run by its own board or district.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
