Meeanee School is a co-educational full primary school in Napier, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 103 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 493. The school has been open since 1865.

With 103 students on roll, Meeanee School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 27% of New Zealand schools.
