Kilbirnie School

Kilbirnie School is a co-educational contributing school in Wellington, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 213 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 377. The school has been open since 1884.

With 213 students on roll, Kilbirnie School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 49% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 377, 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 86 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 71.8%, with a meaningful Asian community at 19.1% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.12 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
