Rathkeale College

Rathkeale College is a boys school secondary (year 9-15) school in Masterton, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 317 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 415. The school has been open since 1964.

With 317 students on roll, Rathkeale College is a large school — larger than about 63% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 415, which is well 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 48 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

80.5% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 8.7%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.12 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
