Built for this market, nowhere else
Most families are making a school decision, not a housing decision.
They just don’t say it that way. You want the yard and the third
bedroom, but what actually decides it is which catchment the driveway sits in. And a
catchment boundary doesn’t follow the postal code, the neighbourhood name, or the street
you’d assume.
So I built the search the other way around. Pick the junior high or
high school first, public or private, and see only the homes that sit inside it. Each
school shows the province’s own assessment results beside it, next to the district and
provincial averages so the number actually tells you something, across Surrey’s SD36 and
Langley’s SD35.
I’ve chosen schools for my own two kids here. I know how much of
this decision happens at the kitchen table at eleven at night.
Results come from the B.C. Ministry of Education’s published
data, dated by school year and shown against the district and provincial averages. They
measure a narrow set of outcomes, and the guide is straight with you about which.
