What stands out · In brief

What stands out about Laurentian’s schools

Results above the middle

Most of the 29 schools with results sit above the middle in Ontario, 17 of them, with Elmdale Public School, Nepean High School and École élémentaire publique Charlotte Lemieux at the head. Results ↓

One big school

With 1,270 students, Nepean High School is the area’s biggest. Every school ↓

The strongest results

The area’s best results are at Elmdale Public School (elementary), in the top fifth in Ontario. Results ↓

The comparisons are with the province’s schools, never across provinces.

The boards

Which of the 5 boards runs which school

Each board’s schools in the area, largest first.

The four systems cover the same streets, so the nearest school may not be the one a family’s system offers: English or French, public or Catholic, each has its own board.

Getting a place

How children get a place in Laurentian

The neighbourhood school

Where a family lives sets the school: each board draws a catchment around every one of its schools, and a child living inside it has a place there. Other schools take children from outside when they have room.

Catholic schools

Ontario funds the Catholic system in full; its high schools are open to all, its elementary schools mostly to Catholic families.

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.

How to read these numbers

What this data can and can’t tell you

  • 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 school list, 2024-25.
  • What isn’t here. There are no inspection ratings to show, and a single year of enrolment gives no trend.
  • Bands, not ranks. Bands compare within Ontario only, measure by measure, then average: never a place in a league table.
