About Windsor North School

Windsor North School is a co-educational contributing school in Invercargill, within the Southland Region, operating in the state sector, with 326 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 422. The school has been open since 1880.

With 326 students on roll, Windsor North School is a large school — larger than about 64% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 422, which is 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 41 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 69.5%, with a meaningful Asian community at 21.4% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.83 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
