Getting a place
How children get a place in Richmond Hill
The neighbourhood school
The neighbourhood school is the one the board designates for the address; choice beyond it depends on space.
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
- The year. The provincial list for 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.
- Bands, not ranks. The fifths are of schools, not students: a small school counts as much as a large one.
- 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.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Richmond Hill and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
