Hi

Check the Fraser School rating site. It is (almost) US equivalent of Great Schools

http://ontario.compareschoolrankings.org/ChooseReport.aspx

After finalising the school, you can check the Apartment linked to that.

Note: Admission goes by the Child Age. Extremely difficult to influence.

I notice That all good school got average family income of parents over 150k $.
And if you filter average parent income under 50,000 then school comes are above 100 ranking .

I talking about Calgary schools .

No - not for the public school system. It only matters where you live. In other words, if you want your children to attend a specific public school, then you must find out what geographic area that school accepts students from.

Yes - that's right. I believe you also need to stay in the area covered by that school if you want your child to keep attending that school. In other words, if your first rental home is in the area covered by the school and then six months later you move out of the area covered by that school - then your child will be fine for the first year they attend the school but may be asked to move to a different school the following year (since you have moved to a different area). You should research the regulations and policies of the city you will be living in before you make any big decisions.

Check the school board. Address closer to the school does not mean your child will go to that school. The school districts are decided based on several things. Nearest school may be next street but child may have to go to different school.

And in some cases on which side of the street your home is located also matters..
