Tui Glen School

Tui Glen School is a co-educational full primary school in Lower Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 180 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 524. The school has been open since 1956.

With 180 students on roll, Tui Glen School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 44% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 524, which is 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 61 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Pasifika at 46.2% and European at 26.4%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.27 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
