About Edgecumbe School

Edgecumbe School is a co-educational full primary school in Edgecumbe, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 163 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 494. The school has been open since 1914.

With 163 students on roll, Edgecumbe School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 40% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 494, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

80.4% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 10.3%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.12 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
