I was reading about school funding and how the Equity Index replaced the Decile Index. 

 

That's fine. The Education website links to a spreadsheet listing the amount given to each school depending on Equity Index

 

But they don't link to a school list anywhere.

 

I found an OIA request that was denied because "the information is public" with a link to a Sharepoint-hosted spreadsheet. But that spreadsheet is not linked from anywhere else except the OIA, so not very "public".

 

For the record, here's the link to 2023 School Equity Index (New Zealand).

I'd be interested to see how it lines up against deciles.  Looking at my old primary school  ...  it was in decile two.  If I sort the from largest to smallest equity score and divide into deciles ... it's in decile two! (I know, I know n=1).  I guess this reflects that you can change the scoring system, but that doesn't change community fundamentals. 

 

We have gone from a 1 to 10 integer score to a 600 to 300 integer score.  I'm making an assumption there about the possible range.  I'm not sure we have gained any clarity, in fact we may have lost it.  Perhaps that was the intent.
