Redwood School (Tawa)

Redwood School (Tawa) is a co-educational contributing school in Wellington, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 317 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 377. The school has been open since 1966.

With 317 students on roll, Redwood School (Tawa) is a large school — larger than about 63% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 377, which is well 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 86 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 60.2%, with a meaningful Asian community at 29.4% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.17 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
