About Fraser Crescent School
Fraser Crescent School is a state primary school located in Upper Hutt, serving students from New Entrant through to Year 6. The school participates in the Government's School Donation Scheme, meaning most school-related costs are fully funded.
The school is organised into 12 classes across three year-group clusters:
- Tūī — New Entrants to Year 2
- Kiwi — Years 3 and 4
- Kererū — Years 5 and 6
The school's stated vision is "Connecting today's children with tomorrow's learning", with an emphasis on learning extending beyond the classroom into home and community settings. Programmes include before-school and lunchtime activities, after-school options, a home-based challenge called FRASER Quest, and student e-learning portfolios accessible online.
The school's physical facilities include an adventure playground, heated swimming pool, bike track, pump track, basketball and netball court, carpeted school hall, large school field, and a sports turf.

Equity Index
The Ministry publishes this figure as a bare number — KuraData shows it against the directory-wide average, so you can see where Fraser Crescent School actually sits, not just the number on its own.
The Equity Index estimates the socio-economic barriers students face, on average, and is used to inform government funding and support. It is not a measure of school quality or academic performance.
Higher values indicate a higher level of estimated socio-economic barriers; lower values indicate fewer. Learn how the Equity Index is calculated →

- Asian — 33 students (11%)
- Pacific — 44 students (14.6%)
- Māori — 112 students (37.2%)
- MELAA — 10 students (3.3%)
