Arrowtown School

Arrowtown School is a co-educational full primary school in Arrowtown, within the Otago Region, operating in the state sector, with 454 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 395. The school has been open since 1862.

With 454 students on roll, Arrowtown School is a large school — larger than about 78% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 395, which is well below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm. The gap of 68 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

88.4% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 7%.

On the isolation index the school scores 2.93 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
