Donald R. Getty is one of eleven Edmonton Public schools at capacity for 2026–27. Designated addresses go into a lottery, and students who don't get a spot are assigned George P. Nicholson (6.0 km for grades K-6) and D.S. MacKenzie (9.7 km for grades 7-9).

Donald R. Getty's farthest backup is D.S. MacKenzie at 9.7 km — the longest overflow distance we measured — while elementary students overflow to George P. Nicholson at 6.0 km. When Getty is Level 3, new resident students enter a lottery; students who don't get in are bused to the named school for their grade, not the school across the street.

We don't publish school ratings or test scores. The province's file didn't hold up when we went to join it, and a made-up ranking is worse than none.
A designated school is not a reserved desk. Enrolment is the board's call, every year.
