School designation depends on the home's exact address and the program, and boards can change boundaries from year to year. A school being located in West Hillhurst does not mean every West Hillhurst address is designated to it. Check any address with the CBE school finder (public) and the CSSD school finder (Catholic). Francophone schools: Conseil scolaire FrancoSud. CSSD's own finder notes: "When selecting a community using the school finder, remember that you're seeing all schools a student is eligible to attend as opposed to just the schools geographically located in that community."
