Going to be moving to Toronto and trying to figure out where to settle so my kids can join a good school in the next academic year. Would you agree with this Google result about what the best school districts in Toronto are? If not, please add your recommendations in the comments.

Not sure if you mean only Toronto City or the surrounding suburbs as well. If suburbs are include then i know York region school board (covers markham, richmond hill, and vaughan cities) is good. I went to school in Markham which has many high standard schools and high school. I'm sure there are many elsewhere as well. I tend to think that suburbs region schools/school board is better but i could be wrong as well.

This is great info. Thanks for sharing

Yup. Also the Woodbridge-Richmond hill-Vaughan area which is just north of Toronto has some good schools.

Yeah, these are all pretty good neighborhood’s in Toronto, it’s mostly expensive to own or rent in those areas compared to other places in Toronto

Oh yes, it is. That's why I wanted to know if there are other areas I can look into.

That list is accurate and are also the most expensive neighborhoods for real estate. If you're looking to stay in the city (and not further out in the suburbs like North York) I would add Leaside and the Danforth/Withrow Park area to your list. For more information on school rankings, visit the Fraser Institute website. House Sigma is a great real estate app that shows you the school rankings up front in the listing. Good luck!

And before anyone comes for me...yes the methodology for determining school rankings is debated, but it's the best approximation for identifying a good school/neighborhood.

This is so helpful! Thank you!

Thanks!!

Depends on how much money you have. Rich neighbourhoods have better schools. Those two ares are very expensive.

Got you.

just follow where all the tiger moms send their kids

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
