Frequently Asked Questions

Questions

Updated December 2024

Is Forest Hill C.I. Open for Out-of-Area Admissions for 2025/2026?

Each year in December, the status for Secondary Schools is determined by the TDSB.  For the 2025/2026, Forest Hill Collegiate has been open for "Limited" status for Out-of-Area Admissions.

Are all students who apply for Out-of-Area Admissions accepted to Forest Hill Collegiate?

Unfortunately, the demand for Out-of-Area Admissions outweighs the available seats in the school. Forest Hill follows the TDSB's Out-of-Area procedure for applicants. 

How many students are chosen for Out-of-Area Admissions?

The number of seats allocated for Out-of-Area Admissions changes every year and depends on:

  • the number of seats allocated to the school by our central planning department
  • the number of in-area students opting to attend Forest Hill
  • the number of applicants through Out-of-Area Admissions

February 2020 - 74% of applicants were accepted 

February 2021 - 69% of applicants were accepted 

February 2022 - 62% of applicants were accepted

February 2023 - 52% of applicants were accepted
