Questions people ask about homes near Ormiston Public School

Does living near Ormiston Public School guarantee a place there?

No. The Durham District School Board assigns students by attendance boundary, and boundaries follow streets rather than distance. Most homes this close fall inside the catchment, but new subdivisions and enrolment pressure move lines from time to time. Confirm the current assignment for the specific address with the board before you rely on it.

Ormiston Public School is a Durham District School Board elementary school for grades junior kindergarten to 8, with about 700 students. Programs, French immersion placements and special education offerings change, so check the school's own page on the board website for the current year.

Which neighbourhood is Ormiston Public School in?

Ormiston Public School sits in the part of Whitby that the MLS® files under Pringle Creek, judging by the listings nearest the school. The neighbourhood guide covers the housing stock, transit, parks and daily errands there in more depth, and the other schools in the same area are listed at the end of this page.

Can the Miller team help me confirm the school before I offer?

Yes. Tell them the address and the grade you need and they will check the board's boundary map and, where it matters, call the school office, so the school question is settled before you commit to a purchase rather than after.

How is the 1.5 km radius measured?

As a straight line from the school's address, not a walking route, so a home on the far side of a creek or a rail line can be inside the circle yet farther on foot. The listings are sorted nearest first, and the map link opens centred on the school so you can judge the route yourself.
