Glenavy School

Glenavy School is a co-educational full primary school in Waimate, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 119 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 446. The school has been open since 1889.

With 119 students on roll, Glenavy School 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 446, 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 Asian at 57.9%, with a meaningful European community at 36% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.26 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
