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 New Central Public School is a specific school with 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.

No. Central is the MLS® neighbourhood used to group listings, while New Central Public School is a specific school with its own attendance boundary.

Enter the address in DistrictIQ's school catchment finder to see the public schools it's zoned for across Oakville. Attendance boundaries are set by the school board and can change, so an address check is the reliable way to confirm a home's schools.
