How children get a place in Drummond
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
Eligibility comes from the parents: French as a first language, or French schooling in Canada; otherwise, the board’s admissions committee decides.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- The year. The list is Statistics Canada’s ODEF (2019–22): schools opened since are missing, and some closed since may still appear.
- Boards and systems. Public schools belong to English and French-language boards (or districts); independent schools run themselves.
- Which schools count. Inside Drummond’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
