Is Duvauchelle School a good school?
Duvauchelle School has a roll size below our composite-score threshold (roll < 30 (cohort too small for a reliable rollup)). The per-axis data on this profile (NCEA, retention, discipline, funding) is still complete — only the rollup is hidden because small cohorts make rollups noisy.
