Grants Braes School

Grants Braes School is a co-educational contributing school in Dunedin, within the Otago Region, operating in the state sector, with 215 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 395. The school has been open since 1950.

With 215 students on roll, Grants Braes School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 50% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 395, 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 68 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 72.2%, with a meaningful Asian community at 21.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.13 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
