Keith Street School

Keith Street School is a co-educational contributing school in Whanganui, within the Manawatū-Whanganui Region, operating in the state sector, with 179 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 528. The school has been open since 1887.

With 179 students on roll, Keith Street School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 44% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 528, 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 65 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 64.3%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 19.1% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.33 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
