Ashbrook School

Ashbrook School is a co-educational full primary school in Opotiki, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 66 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 563. The school has been open since 1959.

With 66 students on roll, Ashbrook School is a small school — larger than about 19% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 563, which is well 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 100 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 60%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 20% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 2.07 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
