Houghton Valley School

Houghton Valley School is a co-educational contributing school in Wellington, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 200 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 366. The school has been open since 1931.

With 200 students on roll, Houghton Valley School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 47% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 366, 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 97 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

87.2% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 6.9%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.22 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
