Rickson Ridge PS is actually the #1 english-track school in Guelph only topped by French Immersion stalwarts John McCrae, FA Hamilton and Edward Johnson. With the influx of population in Guelph over the last few years and new schools opening in other parts of the south end, Rickson Ridge will be losing some of its Grade 7 & 8 population, but I think the school and programs will be fine and continue to produce some of the best results in the city.

FA Hamilton was an English-track school that became a JK-6 French Immersion school in September 2011. They certainly haven’t missed a beat and are now the #2-ranked school in all of Guelph. This has become a school that many parents aim to send their children. They’ve certainly lived up to the famous educator that the school is named after! This is a great choice for those parents interested in full-time French Immersion.

Jean Little PS encompasses the spirit of old Kortright West. Old, of course, relatively speaking as the school was built in 1991! But, compared to the rest of the south end, this area is definitely a more mature spot for homeowners. Students here all practically walk to school as the boundary area is fairly small although Jean Little PS houses 400 children from a very diverse background of over 30 countries. Jean Little PS ranks #9 in the city of Guelph!
