Edendale School (Southland)

Edendale School (Southland) is a co-educational contributing school in Edendale, within the Southland Region, operating in the state sector, with 121 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 431. The school has been open since 1875.

With 121 students on roll, Edendale School (Southland) is a medium-sized school — larger than about 30% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 431, 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 71.3%, with a meaningful Asian community at 20.9% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.2 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
