North Street School at a glance

North Street School is a co-educational full primary school in Feilding, within the Manawatū-Whanganui Region, operating in the state sector, with 349 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 506. The school has been open since 1958.

With 349 students on roll, North Street School is a large school — larger than about 67% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 506, 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 43 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 64.2%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 20% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.31 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
