The school's Equity Index is 509, 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 46 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.66 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
