Why St. Patrick School has a band rather than a letter
The bottom fifth in Ontario is where St. Patrick School’s results put it among the province’s schools. That is the comparison the published figures allow; a letter is something we give towns, not single schools.
The letter belongs to Brantford: its School Grade weighs St. Patrick School with every other school around it.
Getting a place at St. Patrick 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.
Ontario’s Catholic boards are publicly funded. Their elementary schools generally ask that a parent or the child be Catholic; their high schools are open to all students.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.
