Hamilton Christian School

Hamilton Christian School is a co-educational composite school in Hamilton, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 993 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 413. The school has been open since 1998.

With 993 students on roll, Hamilton Christian School is a very large school — larger than about 94% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 413, 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 50 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 54.5% and Asian at 26.6%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.28 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
