Duntroon School

Duntroon School is a co-educational full primary school in Duntroon, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 108 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 423. The school has been open since 1879.

With 108 students on roll, Duntroon School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 28% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 423, which is 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 largest group is European at 72.9%, with a meaningful Asian community at 26.2% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.78 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
