Riverton School

Riverton School is a co-educational contributing school in Riverton, within the Southland Region, operating in the state sector, with 131 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 469. The school has been open since 1974.

With 131 students on roll, Riverton School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 33% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 469, 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.

89.2% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 6.7%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.52 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
