Newfield Park School

Newfield Park School is a co-educational contributing school in Invercargill, within the Southland Region, operating in the state sector, with 223 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 506. The school has been open since 2005.

With 223 students on roll, Newfield Park School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 51% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 506, 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 gap of 43 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 73.7%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 12.7% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.83 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
