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.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The kinds of school. An all-grade school teaches from kindergarten through high school; elementary and secondary schools split those years.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Austin’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- 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.
- One school, two buildings. Quebec lists each school once per building, so a school with two buildings shows twice, its building named.
- Boards and systems. Each public school belongs to a French service centre or an English board, whichever covers its address.
- The year. Listed for 2025-26.
