I think there's a new (K-4) elementary school opening in Royal Oak. Not sure if it will be open in September 2011 or September 2012. School site looks relatively close to Red Haus. Junior High (5-9) will be across Crowchild Trail in Tuscany. That's also under development and I'm not sure when it opens. Senior High (10-12) is across Stoney Trail in Arbour Lake. It is also being built right now and has a working name of "Northwest Calgary High School."

New LRT station along Crowchild Trail (Tuscany Station) will open in 2014. (

One thing about that area is that they tend to get significantly more snowfall than other areas of the city due to the elevation. Royal Oak is the highest point in the city. Also, roads tend to be more treacherous there due to the increased snow, winding roads, and hilly terrain.
