Raureka School at a glance

Raureka School is a co-educational contributing school in Hastings, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 314 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 499. The school has been open since 1914.

With 314 students on roll, Raureka School is a large school — larger than about 62% of New Zealand schools.

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.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 54.4% and Pasifika at 25.4%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.08 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
