About Remarkables Primary School

Remarkables Primary School is a co-educational full primary school in Queenstown, within the Otago Region, operating in the state sector, with 426 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 397. The school has been open since 2010.

With 426 students on roll, Remarkables Primary School is a large school — larger than about 76% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 397, 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 66 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 71.2%, with a meaningful Asian community at 21.4% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 2.7 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
