How are catchment homes determined for Nelson High School?

DistrictIQ reflects Halton DSB's current published boundary, but always confirm zoning directly with the board before making a purchase decision. How Ontario attendance boundaries work
Which Burlington communities does Nelson High School's catchment cover?
Homes in Nelson High School's catchment are concentrated in Appleby, Shoreacres and Roseland. Each community links to a dedicated page with neighbourhood-level market data.
How does Nelson High School compare to other Burlington secondary schools?
On the 2024–2025 EQAO assessments, 86% of Nelson High School students met the provincial standard (composite) — higher than 6 of the 7 other Burlington secondary schools with published results. EQAO is a benchmark of provincial-standard achievement, not a ranking of school quality; academic results are one factor among many.
How should I read the EQAO results for Nelson High School?
EQAO results show the percentage of students who met or exceeded the provincial standard on each assessment, shown alongside the Burlington secondary average for context. They are provided for information only and are not a ranking of school quality — academic outcomes are just one of many factors families may wish to consider.
How can I compare Nelson High School to other schools in Burlington?
Open the Compare tool to line up Nelson High School against up to three other schools — EQAO results, grades, board and catchment status side by side.
Does living in Nelson High School's catchment guarantee a spot?
Not automatically. Falling inside the attendance boundary is the basis for enrolment, but it is not an absolute guarantee — placement still depends on school capacity, program availability such as French Immersion, and board policy. Always confirm current school boundaries and registration directly with Halton DSB.

School & assessment data

EQAO results are provided for informational purposes only and should not be interpreted as a ranking of school quality. Academic outcomes are only one factor families may wish to consider. EQAO results shown reflect the 2024–2025 assessment.

School and assessment data is sourced from the Ontario Ministry of Education, the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO), Ontario Open Data, and the applicable public and Catholic district school boards across the regions we cover (Southern Ontario).

School information — including school boundaries, eligibility, EQAO results, programs and enrolment — is provided for general informational purposes only and may be inaccurate or out of date. Boundaries, eligibility, programs and enrolment can change at any time. EQAO figures reflect past assessment results, are shown per test relative to the city-wide average, are not a ranking, and do not predict any student's outcome. Always confirm current school boundaries and eligibility directly with the applicable school board before relying on this information.

Listing data is provided by the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) and PropTx under the Internet Data Exchange (IDX) program.
