Frequently asked questions
What is the best state school in Wellington?
Wellington College in Mount Victoria ranks first among state schools in Wellington with a Success Index (NZ) of 88.5 out of 100 (Equity Index (EQI): 383).
How are state schools in Wellington ranked?
Each school's Success Index (NZ) combines 5 factors: equity index (fewer barriers is higher) (45%), roll size (10%), roll growth (5 years) (15%), school leavers with ncea level 2+ (20%), school leavers with university entrance (10%). Each factor is a percentile against schools of the same type across New Zealand. Schools with fewer than 60 students are excluded from rankings.
