4 boards, school by school

Ontario funds four systems side by side, and here all four overlap: a family picks English or French, public or Catholic, and each choice has its own board and its own schools.

How children get a place in Danforth
The neighbourhood school
Registration happens with the board, not the school; the board names the school for the address.
Catholic schools
Ontario’s Catholic boards are publicly funded. Their elementary schools generally ask that a parent or the child be Catholic; their high schools are open to all students.
French-language schools
French-language boards admit the children of rights-holders under section 23 of the Charter (a parent whose first language is French, or who was schooled in French in Canada), and may admit others through an admissions 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
- 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.
- Bands, not ranks. Top fifth means a result among the best fifth of Ontario’s schools on that test; the card shows the average of a school’s fifths.
- What isn’t here. Ontario’s private schools aren’t in the open list; no province publishes inspection grades.
- The kinds of school. Kindergarten to Grade 8 is elementary, Grade 9 to 12 secondary, though the split varies by province and board.
- Which schools count. The area is Danforth plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
