How children get a place in Middlesex Centre
The neighbourhood school

Catholic schools
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.
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
- The year. 2024-25, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- Bands, not ranks. A school with no reported result has no band; one with several averages its fifths.
- Which schools count. Schools inside Middlesex Centre and those within 3 km of its outline: a family nearby would weigh them all.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
