How Long is the Citizenship Ceremony?

[immi2grate]

I will be taking my mother to the citizenship ceremony and it can take up to an hour to Scarborough. On the notice it says that it may take upto 1 hour and 30 minutes for the ceremony. As the time to appear for citizenship ceremony is 12:30 EST, is it correct to assume that we will be done and out of the building by 2:00 PM?
I need to pickup my kids from school at 3:00 so just wanted to make sure if I will need to make special arrangements. Thanks

The online tracker is the only place where you can check for updates if you had a paper application.
