Bethlehem College

Bethlehem College is a co-educational composite school in Tauranga, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 2,108 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 409. The school has been open since 1992.

With 2,108 students on roll, Bethlehem College is a one of the largest school — larger than about 99% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 409, 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 54 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 63.8%, with a meaningful Asian community at 21.6% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.21 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
