Salmon River · SD35 Langley
These are the homes currently for sale inside the D.W. Poppy Secondary catchment, drawn to the boundary School District 35 (Langley) publishes. Four elementary schools sit inside it and feed into D.W. Poppy.
It is not one rectangle. The southern block runs 220 to 260 Street from 0 Avenue up to 40 Avenue; the middle widens to 224 to 276 Street between 40 and 92 Avenue; and the northern end narrows to 216 to 232 Street through Fort Langley to the Fraser at about 112 Avenue, where two river islands are also inside the line. A single street range would describe a box covering half of Langley Township. Being inside the boundary is not the same as being guaranteed a seat, and there is more on that below.
This is the biggest catchment on the site by ground and the smallest by students. It runs from the Fraser River at Fort Langley to the international border, and most of what is inside the line is acreage, not streets.

Every elementary catchment in this district nests inside exactly one secondary catchment, so a home inside this boundary feeds one of these 4 and then D.W. Poppy. Which one depends on the address, not the neighbourhood name — the map above shows how the 4 divide it up.

These are provincial assessments, not rankings, and they are published by the B.C. Ministry of Education under the Open Government Licence. The figure is the share of students who wrote the assessment and scored in the top bands — On Track or Extending for the Foundation Skills Assessment, Proficient or Extending for the Grade 10 assessments.
Surrey and B.C. sit beside every number on purpose. Grade 10 Numeracy runs at about half the province, so a figure in the forties is close to normal and reads as a failing grade only if you see it on its own. A number without its baselines is not a fact, it is an impression.
What they do not measure: teaching, the programs a school runs, how a particular child would do there, or whether anyone is happy. They measure two skills, on one day, among the students who sat the test. This site does not rank schools and does not publish a rating, because the question buyers actually ask is which catchment an address is in — not which school is best.
School District 35 (Langley) reserves the right to redirect students once a school is full. In 2024 Surrey closed in-catchment registration at three of its schools, so this is not a technicality. The boundary tells you which school an address is assigned to; it does not reserve a desk in it.
Before you make an offer on a home you chose for its school, confirm the address with the district. Their catchment locator is the authority, not this page.

Most of what goes wrong here is not the boundary. It is assuming the boundary settles it. This is what I would tell you across a kitchen table, written down: six short chapters, in your browser, no download.
Four: Fort Langley, North Otter, Peterson Road and Wix-Brown. Every elementary catchment in the Langley district nests inside exactly one secondary catchment, so a home in this boundary feeds one of those four and then D.W. Poppy. They are spread over roughly 30 kilometres north to south, from Fort Langley village to Wix-Brown near the border, which is why the school itself sits in the middle of the catchment rather than in any of its communities.
Yes, all of it, including the two islands in the Fraser off the village. The catchment's northern end narrows to the village between 216 and 232 Street and runs right to the river. Fort Langley Elementary is the feeder there, and its students go on to D.W. Poppy at 52 Avenue, about 12 kilometres south. The school is in the Salmon River acreage area; the village is a different kind of place with the same secondary school.
Because the ground between is rural. South of 40 Avenue the catchment is a block from 220 to 260 Street running down to 0 Avenue, the international border, and the homes in it are largely acreages on wells and septic systems rather than subdivisions. Wix-Brown Elementary serves that end. A boundary drawn around farmland has to be large to hold enough students for one secondary school, and D.W. Poppy had fewer than 900 students in 2025/2026 even so.

Your Salmon River REALTOR®
I am a REALTOR® specializing in Cloverdale, Surrey, Langley, White Rock and the Fraser Valley, where I have lived and worked for over 20 years.
I am here to guide you and answer your questions so you feel confident moving forward with whatever you decide. If I do not have the answer, I will find out for you — I would rather be your resource going forward than sound certain about something I have not checked.
If you and I met for the first time, I would want to know a bit more about you before anything else. What is the goal, where do you want to be, and what is the plan? Then it is a question of whether Salmon River actually fits it — and with acreage the honest answer is often that a well, a septic field and five acres are more commitment than someone wanted, and another part of Langley fits better.
No pressure and no deadline — a conversation about what you are weighing is genuinely useful on its own. More about how I work
