How children get a place in Crown Point West
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.
Catholic schools
The Catholic boards are as public as the others: free, with elementary schools that generally require a Catholic parent and high schools open to everyone.
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.
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
- The kinds of school. Each school is elementary, secondary or all-grade by the grades it teaches; alternative, adult and online programs sit in a group of their own.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Crown Point West and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Ontario only, measure by measure, then average: never a place in a league table.
- 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. The province’s 2024-25 list.
