About Ruakituri School

Ruakituri School is a co-educational full primary school in Wairoa, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 9 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 494. The school has been open since 2005.

With 9 students on roll, Ruakituri School is a very small school — larger than about 3% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 494, 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.

100% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Māori descent make up 0%.

On the isolation index the school scores 2.14 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
