Catholic schools
Catholic schools here are public, paid for by the province. Elementary places usually go to Catholic families; Catholic high schools take any student.
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.

Ask the board first. It holds the enrolment list and points each street to its own school; out-of-area requests go ahead only with space to spare.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- Which schools count. Inside Carp’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. Elementary means kindergarten to Grade 6 or 8, secondary up to Grade 12 (Secondary V in Quebec); a few schools take every grade.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- Bands, not ranks. Each result is placed in a fifth of Ontario’s schools on the same measure; a school’s band averages its fifths. EQAO doesn’t report small groups, so no school is ranked to the place.
