About Dunedin Rudolf Steiner School

Dunedin Rudolf Steiner School is a co-educational full primary school in Dunedin, within the Otago Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 80 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 418. The school has been open since 1986.

With 80 students on roll, Dunedin Rudolf Steiner School is a small school — larger than about 22% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 418, 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 45 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 73%, with a meaningful Asian community at 12% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.18 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
