About Rangitoto School

Rangitoto School is a co-educational full primary school in Rangitoto, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 20 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 426. The school has been open since 1920.

With 20 students on roll, Rangitoto School is a very small school — larger than about 6% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 426, 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.

89.5% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 10.5%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.59 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
