Getting a place
How children get a place in Downsview
The neighbourhood school
Each board draws attendance areas: a child’s home address gives a designated school in each system. Families register with the board, and a school outside the area takes a child only if it has room.
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
A Catholic elementary school usually asks for a Catholic parent or a baptized child; a Catholic high school admits all.
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 school with no reported result has no band; one with several averages its fifths.
- What isn’t here. Provinces don’t grade schools by inspection; class sizes and enrolment over time aren’t in the open lists.
- Boards and systems. Each board covers a territory in one language and one system, public or Catholic; boards of different systems overlap.
- The year. Schools as listed for 2024-25.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Which schools count. Inside Downsview’s boundary, or no more than 3 km outside it: that is which schools are counted.
