About North Loburn School

North Loburn School is a co-educational full primary school in Loburn North, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 80 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 420. The school has been open since 1880.

With 80 students on roll, North Loburn School is a small school — larger than about 22% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 420, which is 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 43 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

92.3% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 3.8%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.76 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
