About Milton School

Milton School is a co-educational contributing school in Milton, within the Otago Region, operating in the state sector, with 109 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 492. The school has been open since 1966.

With 109 students on roll, Milton School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 28% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 492, 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.

90.1% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 5.5%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.11 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
