Langley City and Murrayville · SD35 Langley
These are the homes currently for sale inside the H.D. Stafford Middle catchment, drawn to the boundary School District 35 (Langley) publishes. Six elementary schools sit inside it and feed into H.D. Stafford.
The same footprint as Langley Secondary: 196 Street east to about 222 Street between 48 and 60 Avenue, stepping out to 228 Street along 44 Avenue, with a strip north between 212 and 222 Street to 70 Avenue. The school itself is on Grade Crescent in Langley City, west of the municipal line at roughly 208 Street; Murrayville's feeder elementaries lie east of it. Being inside the boundary is not the same as being guaranteed a seat, and there is more on that below.
H.D. Stafford is the middle school for two municipalities at once. Its line runs from Langley City across the municipal boundary into Murrayville, and every address in it goes on to Langley Secondary.

this school Langley B.C.
Every elementary catchment in this district nests inside exactly one secondary catchment, so a home inside this boundary feeds one of these 6 and then H.D. Stafford. Which one depends on the address, not the neighbourhood name — the map above shows how the 6 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.
Six: Blacklock, Douglas Park, James Hill, Nicomekl, Simonds and Uplands. Every elementary catchment in the Langley district nests inside exactly one middle catchment, so a home in this boundary feeds one of those six for elementary and then H.D. Stafford for the middle years. Five of the six cluster around the school in and near Langley City; James Hill is out to the east toward Murrayville.
Yes, all of the Murrayville neighbourhood is, together with all of Langley City. The catchment does not follow the municipal boundary or the neighbourhood name; it runs from 196 Street east to about 222 Street and takes both in. A buyer searching for Murrayville schools should know that the middle school is on Grade Crescent in Langley City, about three kilometres west of Five Corners.
Langley Secondary, and with no exceptions by address, because the two catchments have the same footprint and the same six elementary feeders. That makes this one of the simplest areas on the site to check: elementary, then H.D. Stafford, then Langley Secondary, all settled by one address. The district records no French Immersion at either school.
