Mountview School

Mountview School is a co-educational full primary school in Taupo, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 329 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 516. The school has been open since 1970.

With 329 students on roll, Mountview School is a large school — larger than about 64% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 516, 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 53 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 67%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 15.5% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.54 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
