Wellington College

Wellington College is a boys school secondary (year 9-15) school in Wellington, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 1,934 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 383. The school has been open since 1867.

With 1,934 students on roll, Wellington College is a one of the largest school — larger than about 99% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 383, which is well below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm. The gap of 80 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 57%, with a meaningful Asian community at 29.5% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.1 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
