One of the biggest factors new homebuyers take into consideration is location. The Proctor Team did some research and put together a list of top elementary, junior high, and high schools in Edmonton to help you with your search.

Certain areas of the city can be more or less appealing to individuals based on surrounding amenities, and whether or not these amenities best suite a family’s lifestyle needs. Nearby schools are a major influencer for young and growing families, and often determine where they choose to invest in a new home. Providing children with the best education possible is a large priority, so taking the time to do your homework (pun intended!) on the schools surrounding your potential future home is a good idea. We've compiled a list of public and Catholic schools in the Edmonton area that have received the best reviews and offer top-notch programs to complement your children’s needs.
