St Andrews Middle School

St Andrews Middle School is a co-educational restricted composite (year 7-10) school in Hamilton, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 137 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 541. The school has been open since 1977.

With 137 students on roll, St Andrews Middle School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 35% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 541, which is well above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 78 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 60.9%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 20.7% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.17 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
