About West Gore School
West Gore School is a co-educational contributing school in Gore, within the Southland Region, operating in the state sector, with 154 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 482. The school has been open since 1953.
With 154 students on roll, West Gore School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 38% of New Zealand schools.
The school's Equity Index is 482, 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.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.18 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
