Following overcapacity issues at Brother Edmund Rice Catholic Secondary School, Brother Edmund Rice Annex was established within the building of
J.J. McGrand Catholic Elementary School in 1982, positioning itself in the quiet neighbourhood of
Dufferin Grove. In its initial year, one hundred and fifty ninth graders occupied one floor of the latter's building. As of 2023, St. Mary Catholic Academy is the only anglophone high school remaining in the Dufferin Grove neighbourhood following the closure of
Brocktown High School. == Fraser Institute ranking ==
