Forest View High School at a glance

Forest View High School is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Tokoroa, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 425 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 517. The school has been open since 1974.

With 425 students on roll, Forest View High School is a large school — larger than about 75% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 517, 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 54 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 64.9%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 22.6% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.89 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
