About Renwick School

Renwick School is a co-educational full primary school in Renwick, within the Marlborough Region, operating in the state sector, with 442 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 449. The school has been open since 1861.

With 442 students on roll, Renwick School is a large school — larger than about 77% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 449, 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.

93.4% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 2.6%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.59 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
