About Woodville School

Woodville School is a co-educational full primary school in Woodville, within the Manawatū-Whanganui Region, operating in the state sector, with 122 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 507. The school has been open since 1877.

With 122 students on roll, Woodville School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 31% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 507, 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 44 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

82.3% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 10.6%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.7 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
