Getting a place
How children get a place in Riverview
The neighbourhood school
Attendance zones do the sorting here. Inside the zone a child is in; outside it, the answer turns on how full the school is.
French-language schools
French-language schools are for children of section 23 rights-holders first; the board may admit others case by case.
Catholic schools
Families who aren’t Catholic can usually choose a Catholic high school, though rarely a Catholic elementary one.
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
- 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.
- What isn’t here. Missing: inspection ratings (no province gives them), enrolment trends and Ontario’s private schools.
- The year. The province’s school list, 2024-25.
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
- Which schools count. Inside Riverview’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
- The kinds of school. The levels follow each school’s published grades: elementary below Grade 7 or 9, secondary above, all-grade when it runs the whole way.
