How children get a place in Birchcliffe-Cliffside
The neighbourhood school
Registration happens with the board, not the school; the board names the school for the address.
French-language schools
Section 23 rights-holders, francophone parents or those schooled in French in Canada, have a place; others apply to the board’s committee.

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. Ontario’s results are whole percentages with small groups left out, so the page gives fifths, not ranks.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- The year. 2024-25, the latest open list.
- Boards and systems. English and French, public and Catholic: the board decides the system, and the address decides the school.
- Which schools count. The page takes in schools within Birchcliffe-Cliffside and up to 3 km past its boundary, so a school just over the line is still here.
- 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.
