Ahuroa School at a glance

Ahuroa School is a co-educational full primary school in Ahuroa, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 53 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 455. The school has been open since 1888.

With 53 students on roll, Ahuroa School is a small school — larger than about 16% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 455, 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.

94.9% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 2.6%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.78 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
