Birchville School

Birchville School is a co-educational contributing school in Upper Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 136 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 461. The school has been open since 1978.

With 136 students on roll, Birchville School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 34% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 461, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

76.6% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 14.5%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.17 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
