Ontario's Best School Zones: Where to Buy in 2025 Based on Fraser Institute Data

The 2025 Fraser Institute Report Card just dropped — ranking 747 secondary schools and over 3,000 elementary schools across Ontario. I've turned all of it into a free, searchable tool at OntarioSchoolRankings.ca so families can compare every ranked school in the province.

Here's what the data tells us about where to buy.

The GTA's Top-Performing School Cities

Not all GTA cities are created equal when it comes to education. Here's how the numbers break down:

York Region dominates.

Markham leads the GTA with an average school rating of 8.0/10 across 57 ranked schools. Richmond Hill (7.5 avg) and Thornhill (7.7 avg) aren't far behind. If school quality is your top priority, York Region is the clear winner.

Markham Rankings → Richmond Hill →

Halton holds strong.

Oakville (7.8 avg across 56 schools) and Burlington (7.1 avg across 51 schools) continue to deliver excellent results. Milton is improving steadily at 6.9 average.

Oakville Rankings → Milton Rankings →

Toronto is a mixed bag.

With 346 ranked schools, Toronto has both the province's best (St Michael's Choir at 10.0, Ursula Franklin at 9.7) and some of the lowest-rated schools. Neighbourhood selection matters enormously.

Toronto Rankings → Scarborough → North York →

Peel is affordable with standouts.

Mississauga averages 6.8 across 131 schools — with several perfect 10.0-rated independent schools. Brampton averages 6.1 with 110 schools.

Mississauga Rankings → Brampton Rankings →

Best Value: Strong Schools, Lower Prices

For families who want top school performance without GTA price tags:

Whitby38 schools, 7.0 avg rating. Durham Region pricing with Halton-level school results. One of the best value plays in the eastern GTA. View rankings →

St. Catharines38 schools, 7.4 avg rating. Niagara Region pricing with surprisingly strong school performance. View rankings →

Guelph49 schools, 6.5 avg rating. University city with solid public schools and prices well below the GTA. View rankings →

Kanata28 schools, 7.6 avg rating. Ottawa's tech suburb with excellent school results. View rankings →

Before You Buy: Check the Boundary

The single most important thing to verify before making an offer: which school is your property actually zoned for? The house next door could be in a completely different boundary.

All 8 official school board boundary finders are compiled on the OntarioSchoolRankings.ca homepage — including TDSB, TCDSB, PDSB, DPCDSB, HDSB, HCDSB, YRDSB, and YCDSB. Enter your address, confirm your zone, then cross-reference with the school's ranking.

The Full Picture: 3,798 Schools Ranked

Whether you're buying in Toronto, Milton, Ottawa, or anywhere else in Ontario, the data is all at OntarioSchoolRankings.ca:

→ Search any school instantly
→ Browse 124 cities covered
→ Every school's rating, provincial rank, and 5-year trend
