About Linden School

Linden School is a co-educational contributing school in Wellington, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 116 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 500. The school has been open since 1952.

With 116 students on roll, Linden School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 29% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 500, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Pasifika at 40.4% and Asian at 36.8%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.11 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
