I know the ones around me have those and about 10 years later one of them finally has a school

Yeah, there are tons of spaces available for schools. Land developers have to set aside a certain percentage of land, and then the public and separate boards divide it up and decide which type of schools go where. Each board makes a priority list and submits it to the government.
One thing we don't have in Alberta is a shortage of sites in places that desperately need a new school...
