What kind of school is Bissetsdrift Primêre Skool?
Bissetsdrift Primêre Skool is a public combined school in Stellenbosch, within the Overberg education district of the Western Cape. EMIS records it as a large school with 1,076 enrolled learners and 37 educators, giving a learner-to-educator ratio of 29:1.
It is classified as Quintile 1 — a government classification based on the surrounding community's socioeconomic profile, not a measure of school quality. It is designated as a no-fee school, so families do not pay tuition fees. Matric candidates write the National Senior Certificate (NSC) administered by the Department of Basic Education.
The school falls within the Theewaterskloof local municipality. EMIS classifies the location as rural.
The school is at Lingenveldershoop Vyeboom 6848, and can be reached on 028 050 0629.

Learner numbers reported to the Department, by year
These counts are not a measure of quality. A number can change because a school adds or drops grades, because new schools open nearby or boundaries change, or because of an error in what was reported.
The Department’s lists record this school for 2016 to 2022 as an intermediate school. A school listed as a different type usually offered a different range of grades, so those numbers and later ones may not be counting the same thing.
