George Street Normal School

George Street Normal School is a co-educational contributing school in Dunedin, within the Otago Region, operating in the state sector, with 399 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 403. The school has been open since 1880.

With 399 students on roll, George Street Normal School is a large school — larger than about 73% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 403, 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 60 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 53.5% and Asian at 33%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.07 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
