Piopio College

Piopio College is a co-educational secondary (year 7-15) school in Piopio, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 154 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 499. The school has been open since 1975.

With 154 students on roll, Piopio College is a medium-sized school — larger than about 38% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 499, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

82% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 9.4%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.79 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
