About Hare Krishna School

Hare Krishna School is a co-educational composite school in Riverhead, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 211 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 371. The school has been open since 1983.

With 211 students on roll, Hare Krishna School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 49% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 371, 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 92 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

81.4% of students identify as Asian, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of European descent make up 15.5%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.55 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
