Coromandel Area School

Coromandel Area School is a co-educational composite school in Coromandel, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 209 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 512. The school has been open since 1975.

With 209 students on roll, Coromandel Area School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 49% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 512, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 49 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

88.5% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 5.4%.

On the isolation index the school scores 2.12 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
