Wallacetown School

Wallacetown School is a co-educational contributing school in Wallacetown, within the Southland Region, operating in the state sector, with 77 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 461. The school has been open since 1870.

With 77 students on roll, Wallacetown School is a small school — larger than about 21% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 461, 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 Other descent make up 5.4%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.02 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
