Selwyn Park School

Selwyn Park School is a co-educational contributing school in Dargaville, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 148 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 542. The school has been open since 1958.

With 148 students on roll, Selwyn Park School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 37% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 542, which is well above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 79 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 59.8%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 36.4% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.55 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
