About Leamington School

Leamington School is a co-educational contributing school in Cambridge, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 507 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 444. The school has been open since 1880.

With 507 students on roll, Leamington School is a large school — larger than about 82% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 444, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

76.7% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 13.5%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.46 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
