How children get a place in Beaverbrook
The neighbourhood school
Each school serves a defined area. A place elsewhere is possible when that school 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.
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.
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. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Bands, not ranks. A band is the fifth of Ontario’s schools a result falls in, averaged over the school’s measures; small groups go unreported, so places would overstate it.
- The year. Listed for 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- Which schools count. Inside Beaverbrook’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Middle and junior high schools count as secondary when they start at Grade 7 or later, elementary otherwise.
