Counting the 3 km margin adds 13 to the town’s own 1. In English: one of the 14 schools, where in Quebec the share is 10%. We don’t grade schools in Quebec. The reason: the ministry publishes its success rates by school service centre, not school by school.

How children get a place in Saint-Boniface
The neighbourhood school
Where a family lives sets the school: each board draws a catchment around every one of its schools, and a child living inside it has a place there. Other schools take children from outside when they have room.
English schools in Quebec
A certificate of eligibility opens the English public schools; most children qualify for French-language schools only.
The provinces’ education acts and the boards’ own admission policies; check with the board for a given address.
