About Liberton Christian School

Liberton Christian School is a co-educational full primary school in Dunedin, within the Otago Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 140 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 379. The school has been open since 1982.

With 140 students on roll, Liberton Christian School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 35% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 379, 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 84 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 61.3%, with a meaningful Asian community at 25% — 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.
