Fairfield School (Dunedin) is a co-educational full primary school in Dunedin, within the Otago Region, operating in the state sector, with 513 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 420. The school has been open since 1872.

With 513 students on roll, Fairfield School (Dunedin) is a large school — larger than about 82% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 420, 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 gap of 43 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

83.9% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 7.4%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.24 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
