Ngatapa School

Ngatapa School is a co-educational full primary school in Gisborne, within the Gisborne Region, operating in the state sector, with 9 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 456. The school has been open since 1911.

With 9 students on roll, Ngatapa School is a very small school — larger than about 3% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 456, 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.

100% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Māori descent make up 0%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.23 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
