Schools and districts Hi Ottawa,
We're new to town and my kid is still in preschool but we're thinking we should start looking into which school to enrol him in when he's ready for elementary.
I understand that we can only enrol him in public schools that serve our neighbourhood, but how do we find out which schools do? Is there an online database where I plug in our address and it tells me which schools serve our neighbourhood? Or do I have to use google maps and call each school individually and check with them?
Also, what criteria should I depend on to decide which is a better school? Are there academic and non-academic metrics/reviews I can rely on?
Sorry if this should all be obvious, but I don't have any experience with this process and don't know anyone who does.
