These rankings provide valuable insights into how schools compare and can help you identify those that consistently excel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the top-ranked elementary school in Oakville?
Forest Trail, with a perfect Fraser Institute ranking of 10 out of 10 for Junior Kindergarten through Grade 8. Pilgrim Wood follows at 9.7 and New Central at 9.3.
Which Oakville elementary schools rank 9 or higher?
Forest Trail at 10, Pilgrim Wood at 9.7, New Central at 9.3, Munns at 9.2 and Joshua Creek at 9. All but New Central run Junior Kindergarten through Grade 8.

Sunningdale at 8.8, W H Morden at 8.5, Captain R Wilson and Dr. David R. Williams both at 8.2, and Heritage Glen at 8.1.
Which schools serve the newer North Oakville communities?
Oodenawi at 7.2 out of 10 is the main new facility. Newer schools often rank lower initially as enrolment stabilizes and portables come and go, so read those scores with some caution.
Does a lower-ranked Oakville school mean a weak school?
Not necessarily. The Halton District School Board baseline is high, so a 6.5 in Oakville often compares favourably with an average school elsewhere in the province.
How precise do I need to be about the catchment?
Very. A single street can determine which school your child attends, and boundaries shift with enrolment. Confirm the zone for the exact address before you buy.
