I concur with LS on this one... my kids missed out on going to the Joan of Arc school in West Springs/Springside by a year... The boundry they initially set for the school was so large that they had kids coming from all over the west side of Sarcee Tr. All the kids going to John Costello and St. Micheals had the option of going to the new school and by grandfathering their siblings still to come as well. Within 2 years of opening the new K-9 school it was full. The choice then became..which school does your son or daughter bus to..while pretty much driving past 2 schools to get to the one you were designated to. The public system was no different and the Wentworth school was still a year and a half away...although they had already said that CR students weren't going to be allowed to go there.
We ended up sending our child to Westgate.. he was getting bussed either way, might as well learn a language as well.
