What EQI measures
The Equity Index estimates the extent to which a school's students face socio-economic barriers to achievement. It describes the community a school serves — it does not measure school quality, teaching, or student outcomes. A school facing more barriers can be an outstanding school. For independent evaluation, read the school's ERO reports. What EQI means →

This site does not answer that, because the directory data cannot. Roll, year levels and zone status describe a school's shape, not its teaching. For independent evaluation of either school, read their ERO review reports.
