About Glen Massey School

Glen Massey School is a co-educational full primary school in Ngaruawahia, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 126 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 459. The school has been open since 1915.

With 126 students on roll, Glen Massey School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 31% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 459, 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.

93.9% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 2.6%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.65 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
