Appleby School

Appleby School is a co-educational full primary school in Tasman, within the Tasman Region, operating in the state sector, with 149 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 430. The school has been open since 1859.

With 149 students on roll, Appleby School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 37% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 430, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

90.8% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Middle Eastern / Latin American / African descent make up 4.6%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.46 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
