Getting a place
How children get a place in Playter Estates-Danforth
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.
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
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.
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 2024-25 list.
- Boards and systems. Public and Catholic boards are both publicly funded here, in English and in French; an independent school answers to no board.
- Bands, not ranks. A band is the fifth of Ontario’s schools a result falls in, averaged over the school’s measures; small groups go unreported, so places would overstate it.
- 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 area is Playter Estates-Danforth plus a 3 km margin around it, measured from its census outline.
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
