Goodwood School

Goodwood School is a co-educational contributing school in Cambridge, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 448 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 388. The school has been open since 1902.

With 448 students on roll, Goodwood School is a large school — larger than about 77% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 388, 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 75 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

88.2% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 5.4%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.38 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
