Calgary, Alberta — more cities coming
The schools your address opens — and the data behind every score.
Whether you're relocating, switching schools, or planning kindergarten registration, look up any Calgary address and see its catchment schools across K–6, 7–9, and 10–12.
Most tools show a single black-box score. FamilyRoost combines four independent data sources — PAT results, the Fraser index, AEAM survey data, and our own field research — backed by the same data the school boards use, and we publish the full methodology.

Built for
Whatever brought you here — one lookup, four situations.
Situation 01
Relocating to Calgary
New to the city? See what each address actually feeds into before you commit to a home.
Situation 02
Switching schools
Current school not the right fit? See your catchment school and the alternative CBE programs (EFI, Montessori, Mandarin) your address is eligible for — on the data, not gossip.
Situation 03
Choosing your first school
Kindergarten registration or a specialty-program decision coming up? See your catchment and the programs your address is eligible for.
Situation 04
Already here, just curious
Not moving — just curious how your catchment compares, and which alternative programs (EFI, Montessori, Mandarin) your address is eligible for. CBE listed 41 alternative programs in its 2026-27 admission lottery.
The methodology
Four sources, one rating.
Every Canadian competitor leans on a single black-box score. We combine four independent data sources, publish the math, and show you what each one contributes.
PAT — Provincial Achievement Tests
Alberta Education's standardized results, as a three-year mean — an academic signal, with its limits noted.
Fraser Institute index
The familiar /10 ranking, which we weight lightly and publish a critique of — it largely tracks neighbourhood income.
AEAM — Accountability survey
Parent, teacher, and student survey data from each school's own accountability report. No other Canadian tool surfaces this.
Roost field research
Our analyst notes on operational factors — boundary changes, construction, program shifts — curated from public records.
Plans
Free to start. Pay only for the window your decision takes.
Your first lookup is free and anonymous. Family+ unlocks unlimited lookups, side-by-side compare, saved shortlists, and alerts — priced by the month or your decision window, not a subscription you forget about.
An independent product
We're independent. FamilyRoost isn't paid by school boards, realtors, or developers — our only customers are parents. We publish our full methodology, including what we don't measure.
