Edmonton Public Schools is experiencing record-breaking enrollment growth.

The division is expected to reach 172,000 students by 2034 , an increase of 43 per cent from current levels.

The district’s schools are operating at around 90 per cent utilization, with projections indicating that, by 2028 , 100 per cent of schools will be at full capacity.

Edmonton Public Schools is exploring several solutions to manage space shortages.

The division is considering adding modular classrooms to ease pressure on overcrowded schools.

As school capacities reach their limits, schools may resort to lottery systems and closed boundaries.

These measures could lead to increased competition for spots at sought-after schools and challenges for families.
