What "enrolment scheme" means
What a "Yes" or "No" in the enrolment scheme column actually determines for a family applying to a school in Carterton.
- A school with an enrolment scheme (a home zone) must enrol every child who lives inside it.
- A school with no scheme listed can generally accept enrolments from anywhere.
Reading the Equity Index
Two quick things worth remembering when comparing EQI numbers across the table above.
- A higher number means more estimated socio-economic barriers, not a "better" or "worse" school.
- Private schools don't receive an Equity Index.
