Ngā Taiātea Wharekura

Ngā Taiātea Wharekura is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Hamilton, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 291 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 504. The school has been open since 2004.

With 291 students on roll, Ngā Taiātea Wharekura is a medium-sized school — larger than about 60% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 504, 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 41 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 68.2%, with a meaningful European community at 18.2% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.16 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
