Getting a place

How children get a place in Sandy Hill

The neighbourhood school

Registration happens with the board, not the school; the board names the school for the address.

French-language schools

A child qualifies for a French-language school when a parent’s first language is French or a parent went to French school in Canada; an admissions committee can admit others.

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.

Independent schools

Independent schools charge tuition and choose their students.

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

  • What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
  • 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.
  • The year. The provincial list for 2024-25.
  • Boards and systems. A school’s system is its board’s: the language it teaches in, and whether the board is public or Catholic.
  • Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Sandy Hill and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
  • The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
