The school nearest the house may not be the school your child is assigned to. Boards assign a designated school by street address, and a community can be split across several, or have none inside its boundary. The boards don’t publish these attendance areas as open data, only an address lookup: use the CBE Find a School tool (including French Immersion and IB) or contact the Calgary Catholic School District with the exact address before you rent or buy. Capped schools can also place new students elsewhere.
We don’t rate schools: test results are not open data, so a school’s quality is something to ask about on a visit.
LRT access12
Mahogany is about 8.6 km from the nearest LRT station, Somerset-Bridlewood (Red Line). Most people here drive or take a bus to reach the train.
