Ramanui School

Ramanui School is a co-educational contributing school in Hāwera, within the Taranaki Region, operating in the state sector, with 62 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 556. The school has been open since 1953.

With 62 students on roll, Ramanui School is a small school — larger than about 18% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 556, which is well 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 93 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 74.1%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 18.5% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.32 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
