About Allandale School
Allandale School is a co-educational contributing school in Whakatane, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 341 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 517. The school has been open since 1954.
With 341 students on roll, Allandale School is a large school — larger than about 66% of New Zealand schools.
The school's Equity Index is 517, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 54 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.
The largest group is European at 64.5%, with a meaningful Asian community at 15.7% — a mixed but clearly led roll.
On the isolation index the school scores 1.15 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
