Bathgate Park School at a glance

Bathgate Park School is a co-educational full primary school in Dunedin, within the Otago Region, operating in the state sector, with 124 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 510. The school has been open since 2012.

With 124 students on roll, Bathgate Park School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 31% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 510, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 47 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 41.8% and Pasifika at 26.5%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.11 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
