Lemonwood Grove School

Lemonwood Grove School is a co-educational full primary school in Rolleston, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 1,177 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 419. The school has been open since 2017.

With 1,177 students on roll, Lemonwood Grove School is a very large school — larger than about 96% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 419, 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 44 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 50.9% and Asian at 34.8%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.43 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
