Rangiuru School at a glance

Rangiuru School is a co-educational full primary school in Te Puke, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 109 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 493. The school has been open since 1919.

With 109 students on roll, Rangiuru School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 28% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 493, 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.

80% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 13%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.63 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
