Community, school & catchment
Is Central the same as its school?
No — three things share the Central name and it’s worth keeping them separate. The Central community is the MLS® neighbourhood (how listings are grouped), while a same-named school has its own attendance boundary.
A school’s catchment can include homes outside the MLS community — and not every home in Central is necessarily assigned to the same school. Because boundaries are drawn by the school board, the only reliable way to know a home’s school is to check the specific address.
