Getting a place
How children get a place in Hamilton
The neighbourhood school
Registration happens with the board, not the school; the board names the school for the address.
Catholic schools
A Catholic elementary school usually asks for a Catholic parent or a baptized child; a Catholic high school admits all.
French-language schools
The French boards take rights-holders’ children by right and others by committee.
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
- Boards and systems. Boards are set by language and, in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, by faith: public or Catholic.
- The year. The 2024-25 list.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Bands, not ranks. A school with no reported result has no band; one with several averages its fifths.
- The kinds of school. The kind of school is what its province lists: elementary, secondary or both.
- Which schools count. A school counts when it sits inside Hamilton or less than 3 km beyond its edge.
