About Frasertown School

Frasertown School is a co-educational full primary school in Wairoa, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 113 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 479. The school has been open since 1868.

With 113 students on roll, Frasertown School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 29% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 479, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

94.4% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 1.9%.

On the isolation index the school scores 2.2 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
