About Lake Taupo Christian School

Lake Taupo Christian School is a co-educational composite school in Taupo, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 145 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 464. The school has been open since 1993.

With 145 students on roll, Lake Taupo Christian School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 37% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 464, 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.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 52% and Middle Eastern / Latin American / African at 22%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

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.
