Hikurangi School

Hikurangi School is a co-educational full primary school in Hikurangi, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 178 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 526. The school has been open since 1883.

With 178 students on roll, Hikurangi School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 44% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 526, 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 63 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

87.6% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 9.5%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.93 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
