Elementary School Areas in Southwest Edmonton, Neighbourhood by Neighbourhood
Southwest Edmonton has two very different kinds of elementary school map: the newer communities south of the Anthony Henday, where most schools run Kindergarten to Grade 9 under one roof, and the older Riverbend and Kaskitayo areas north of the Henday, where Kindergarten to Grade 6 schools feed separate junior highs. This page lists elementary schools confirmed at their addresses in the southwest neighbourhoods we cover, so a family can shortlist streets before booking showings.

Reading the map south of the Henday
In Keswick, Rutherford and Chappelle, a public and a Catholic K-9 often sit on the same road, which keeps a child in one building until high school. The trade-off is crowding: Nellie Carlson School in MacTaggart lists closed boundaries and a lottery for new students, and its boundary reaches into parts of Terwillegar Towne, South Terwillegar and Magrath Heights. If a home is in that pocket, ask about the lottery before you count on a spot.
Reading the map north of the Henday
Riverbend and the 40 Avenue corridor run on the older pattern. Earl Buxton, George H. Luck and Brander Gardens serve the Riverbend side, and St. Mary is the Catholic elementary that names Haddow, Falconer Heights, Henderson Estates, Rhatigan Ridge, Ramsay Heights, Brookside and Brander Gardens in its area. These neighbourhoods are mostly built out, so school capacity changes less from year to year than it does in Heritage Valley.
Newer neighbourhoods still waiting for a school
Paisley, Cavanagh, South Terwillegar and Magrath Heights had no operating school confirmed inside the neighbourhood when we checked. Edmonton Catholic has K-9 schools under way for Hays Ridge and Cavanagh, both expected in fall 2028, and Edmonton Public is building a K-6 in Glenridding Heights for the same year. See Schools in Southwest Edmonton for the full build list.
