About Oxford Crescent School

Oxford Crescent School is a co-educational contributing school in Upper Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 398 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 447. The school has been open since 1953.

With 398 students on roll, Oxford Crescent School is a large school — larger than about 73% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 447, 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 largest group is European at 68.6%, with a meaningful Asian community at 16.5% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.04 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
