What the Vernon Barford School catchment covers

Vernon Barford School is an Edmonton Public Schools (EPSB) junior high school for Grades 7 to 9, at 32 Fairway Drive NW in Edmonton. For the 2026–27 school year, EPSB designates these neighbourhoods to Vernon Barford School (junior high, Grades 7–9): Blue Quill, Blue Quill Estates, Greenfield, Sweet Grass and Westbrook Estates (the neighbourhood names above are the ones the sold data uses).

EPSB names some of these areas at a finer grain in its own data — West Blue Quill and Westbrook — and every part designates Vernon Barford School at this level, so the sold-data neighbourhoods above are counted whole.

This page measures the junior high (Grades 7–9) designation only. The elementary designations for these same streets are a different map — do not read this page as an elementary catchment. Confirm both levels for your exact address in EPSB's Find a School tool.

One thing buyers get wrong about this catchment:

Confusing proximity with designation. The designated school for an address is not always the closest school, and program catchments (immersion, bilingual, academies and other choice programs) draw from different areas than the regular-program catchment this page measures. Designation is settled by exact address in EPSB's Find a School tool, not by distance on a map.

To confirm a specific address, use EPSB's Find a School tool or call EPSB Planning at 780-429-8539.

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 attendance area as published by Edmonton Public Schools for the 2026–27 school year (EPSB's own neighbourhood designation data, file EPSB_Nbhd_2026_WGS84_20261029_v01.json, read November 10, 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. EPSB also designates these areas to Vernon Barford School at this level, but the sold data has no neighbourhood of those names, so any sales there are recorded under neighbouring names and cannot be separated honestly: Richard Secord. Catchments also change: confirm your designated school for a specific address with the board's Find a School tool before you buy.

Buying or selling in the Vernon Barford School catchment

If you are buying for this school: plan around the split, not a blended number. A detached home at the $568,000 median is realistic planning; the condo entry point in this catchment is a $205,000 median. Do the school check first and the house hunt second — confirm your address designates Vernon Barford School before you condition a purchase on it.

If you are selling in this catchment: the school is a genuine demand driver and 158 sales in a year says the market underneath it is real. Single-family homes sold in a median of 13.5 days — price against the in-catchment sales on this page, not a citywide average.

Either way, verify the address first. Designation is by exact address, not by neighbourhood nickname — confirm yours in EPSB's Find a School tool before you buy or list on the strength of this school.
