Four things I tell every family chasing a specific catchment — learned the hard way over years of these searches.
Listing descriptions are wrong often enough to matter. Pull SD43’s catchment map for the specific house, every time.
Morning rush traffic and parking around the school is the real test of the neighbourhood, not the Sunday open house.
If one child is enrolled, siblings usually get priority — but it’s a soft rule, not a guarantee. Call the school directly.
Catchment-chasing is a multi-year hold, not a flip. Budget the home around the K–12 pathway, not this year’s grade.
