Vaughan Schools Guide
Every public and Catholic school in Vaughan, elementary and secondary, with Fraser Institute rankings, programs, extracurriculars and the neighbourhoods each one serves.
See the school boundaries mapIn Vaughan, the school a home is zoned for has a big effect on its price. The right address gets your children into a highly rated school and usually means a stronger resale later. I put this guide together from the York Region District School Board (YRDSB) and York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) boundary maps, drawing on over 10 years of working in these neighbourhoods. Fraser Institute scores (out of 10) compare each school's academic results with all Ontario schools.

Fraser Institute rankings are for reference only. They're based on past EQAO results compared with all Ontario schools, and don't tell you everything about a school's community, culture or fit for your family. School boundaries change, so always confirm the current boundary with YRDSB or YCDSB before you buy.
Buy in the Right Catchment
School boundaries can change from one street to the next. I know these boundaries well and can show you which homes are zoned for the schools you want, before you make an offer.
