About Frankley School

Frankley School is a co-educational contributing school in New Plymouth, within the Taranaki Region, operating in the state sector, with 256 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 422. The school has been open since 1858.

With 256 students on roll, Frankley School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 55% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 422, 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. The gap of 41 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

90.1% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 7.3%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.02 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
