About Rangitīkei College

Rangitīkei College is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Marton, within the Manawatū-Whanganui Region, operating in the state sector, with 329 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 515. The school has been open since 1958.

With 329 students on roll, Rangitīkei College is a large school — larger than about 64% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 515, 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 52 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

78.9% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 13.4%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.53 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
