About Dyer Street School

Dyer Street School is a co-educational contributing school in Lower Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 213 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 460. The school has been open since 1947.

With 213 students on roll, Dyer Street School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 49% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 460, 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.

The largest group is European at 59.9%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 19.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.09 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
