Longburn Adventist College

Longburn Adventist College is a co-educational secondary (year 7-15) school in Palmerston North, within the Manawatū-Whanganui Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 220 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 474. The school has been open since 1908.

With 220 students on roll, Longburn Adventist College is a medium-sized school — larger than about 50% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 474, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 47.7% and Pasifika at 22.8%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.18 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
