About Vogeltown School

Vogeltown School is a co-educational contributing school in New Plymouth, within the Taranaki Region, operating in the state sector, with 337 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 447. The school has been open since 1915.

With 337 students on roll, Vogeltown School is a large school — larger than about 66% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 447, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.93 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
