About Pitt Island School
Pitt Island School is a co-educational full primary school in Chatham Islands, within the Area Outside Region, operating in the state sector, with 11 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 471. The school has been open since 1896.
With 11 students on roll, Pitt Island School is a very small school — larger than about 4% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.
The school's Equity Index is 471, 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.
100% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Māori descent make up 0%.
On the isolation index the school scores 23 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
