Ormond School

Ormond School is a co-educational contributing school in Gisborne, within the Gisborne Region, operating in the state sector, with 95 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 460. The school has been open since 1874.

With 95 students on roll, Ormond School is a small school — larger than about 25% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 460, 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.

95.7% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 2.9%.

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.
