About Roto-O-Rangi School

Roto-O-Rangi School is a co-educational contributing school in Cambridge, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 92 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 468. The school has been open since 1905.

With 92 students on roll, Roto-O-Rangi School is a small school — larger than about 24% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 468, 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.

92% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 3.4%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.6 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
