Tasman School

Tasman School is a co-educational full primary school in Tasman, within the Tasman Region, operating in the state sector, with 113 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 414. The school has been open since 1913.

With 113 students on roll, Tasman School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 29% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 414, 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 49 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

97.3% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 1.8%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.61 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
