Kuranui College at a glance

Kuranui College is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Greytown, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 748 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 468. The school has been open since 1960.

With 748 students on roll, Kuranui College is a very large school — larger than about 91% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 468, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.
