Hunterville Consolidated School at a glance

Hunterville Consolidated School is a co-educational full primary school in Hunterville, within the Manawatū-Whanganui Region, operating in the state sector, with 116 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 446. The school has been open since 1887.

With 116 students on roll, Hunterville Consolidated School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 29% 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.

87.8% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 7%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
