All but a few of the approximately 500 students are bussed to school, and come from acreages and farms and communities in the surrounding area. Since this is the designated French Immersion School for this area, a number of out of boundary students attend here to take advantage of the French Immersion Program, K-6.

The school houses a system programs as well: REACH (Resources in Early Childhood) Program.
