Homes in the McKernan School Junior High Catchment: What Sold, and for How Much

In the most recent 12 months in the sold data — November 9, 2025 to November 8, 2026 — 137 single-family homes sold in the neighbourhoods that make up McKernan School's junior high catchment, at a median sold price of $734,500 and a median of 19 days on market. Including condos, there were 166 sales in total. McKernan, a Kindergarten-to-Grade 9 school just south of the University of Alberta, remains the designated junior high school (Grades 7–9) for McKernan, Belgravia, Parkallen and Windsor Park.

But read this before you use this page for an elementary decision: McKernan is no longer any neighbourhood's designated elementary school. Edmonton Public Schools' current designation data assigns elementary students in the McKernan neighbourhood itself to Garneau School — McKernan's regular elementary program is being phased out, and for 2026–27 the school appears in EPSB's data as a designated school at the junior high level only. Families move to this area for McKernan School specifically; this page exists so they get the current position, not the one from five years ago.

The sold figures

Window for every figure in this table: November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026. Source: Paragon MLS® sold data, counted by neighbourhood — see "How these numbers were worked out" below. These figures describe the junior high (Grades 7–9) catchment only.

Single-family homes sold for between $345,000 and $3,030,000. This is a premium, low-turnover catchment: only 26% of detached sales came in under $600,000, and Windsor Park's $1,143,800 neighbourhood median pulls the top of the range. A 19-day median says the constraint here is supply, not demand.

Condos totalled 29 sales at a median of $373,000 — a small segment (mostly Belgravia's stock) taking a slower median of 34 days.

What the McKernan catchment covers — and what changed

McKernan School is an Edmonton Public Schools (EPSB) school at 11330 76 Avenue NW, offering regular, French Immersion, Late French Immersion, Spanish Bilingual and Academic Enrichment programming across its grades. For the 2026–27 school year, EPSB designates these neighbourhoods to McKernan for junior high (Grades 7–9): Belgravia, McKernan, Parkallen and Windsor Park — plus the western part of Garneau and the western part of Queen Alexandra, which this page does not count (see below).

The elementary change, stated plainly: EPSB's Student Accommodation Plan set out the phase-out of the regular elementary program at McKernan, with resident elementary students designated to Garneau School — and EPSB's current designation data now shows exactly that. No neighbourhood designates McKernan for elementary in 2026–27. McKernan's program catchments (French Immersion, Spanish Bilingual and others) draw from wider areas than the neighbourhood catchment and are not what this page measures — if a program is your reason for buying here, confirm its attendance area with the school directly, because program areas and the regular catchment are different maps.

Two things buyers get wrong about this school:

1. Buying for the elementary school that no longer designates. A home in McKernan or Belgravia bought for "McKernan elementary" buys a Garneau elementary designation in 2026–27. That may still suit you — Garneau is a well-regarded school a short distance away — but it should be a decision, not a surprise.
2. Counting Garneau and Queen Alexandra as McKernan streets. Only their western parts designate McKernan for junior high (Garneau's east is dual-designated with Allendale; Queen Alexandra's southeast designates Allendale outright). The dividing lines are address-level — check yours.

How these numbers were worked out — please read this before using them

School catchment boundaries do not line up exactly with Edmonton neighbourhood boundaries. These figures are based on the neighbourhoods listed on this page, which are the neighbourhoods wholly inside this school's junior high attendance area as published by Edmonton Public Schools for the 2026–27 school year (EPSB's neighbourhood designation data, read November 9, 2026). Sales in neighbourhoods that are only partly inside the catchment are excluded — so these figures are a community-based approximation of the catchment, not an exact count of sales inside the catchment boundary. Exclusions to know about: Garneau (107 sales in the window) is excluded in full — only its western part designates McKernan for junior high, and its eastern part is dual-designated with Allendale; Queen Alexandra (59 sales) is excluded in full — only its western part designates McKernan, its northeast is dual-designated, and its southeast designates Allendale. And this page makes no elementary claim at all: EPSB designates no neighbourhood to McKernan for elementary in 2026–27. Catchments also change — this one demonstrably has: confirm your designated school for a specific address with the board's Find a School tool before you buy.

Buying or selling in the McKernan junior high catchment

If you are buying for this school: be clear about which McKernan you are buying. For Grades 7–9, the four counted neighbourhoods designate McKernan — with detached homes at a $734,500 median and a 19-day pace, in one of Edmonton's most supply-tight pockets. For elementary, your designated school is Garneau, and for McKernan's immersion and bilingual programs the attendance areas are program-specific — three different maps, three different checks, all before you write the offer.

If you are selling in this catchment: you hold a scarce asset — 166 sales in a year across four mature neighbourhoods, detached homes moving in a median of 19 days. The honest school story is a selling point, not a problem: junior high designation to McKernan plus elementary at Garneau is a combination many university-area families actively want. What hurts a sale here is a listing that claims an elementary designation that no longer exists — buyers' lawyers and the Find a School tool will both find out.

Either way, verify the address first. Designation is by exact address and by grade level — confirm yours in EPSB's Find a School tool before you buy or list on the strength of this school.

Frequently asked questions

Which neighbourhoods are in the McKernan School catchment?
For junior high (Grades 7–9) in 2026–27: Belgravia, McKernan, Parkallen and Windsor Park in full, plus the western parts of Garneau and Queen Alexandra. For elementary: none — EPSB currently designates the area's elementary students to Garneau School. Confirm any specific address in EPSB's Find a School tool.

What did a single-family home in the McKernan junior high catchment sell for recently?
In the 12 months from November 9, 2025 to November 8, 2026, 137 single-family homes sold in the fully-designated neighbourhoods at a median sold price of $734,500, with a median of 19 days on market. Sales ranged from $345,000 to $3,030,000.

Is McKernan still an elementary school?
McKernan still operates Kindergarten-to-Grade 9 programming, including immersion and bilingual programs with their own attendance areas — but its regular elementary program is being phased out, and EPSB designates no neighbourhood to McKernan for regular elementary in 2026–27. The McKernan neighbourhood's elementary designation is Garneau School. Confirm the program-specific position with the school.

Why aren't Garneau and Queen Alexandra counted?
Only their western parts designate McKernan for junior high; the rest is dual-designated with, or designates, Allendale School. Sold data is recorded by whole neighbourhood, so both are excluded rather than partially guessed — 166 sales between them in the window.
