Strathmore School at a glance

Strathmore School is a co-educational contributing school in Tokoroa, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 191 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 530. The school has been open since 1965.

With 191 students on roll, Strathmore School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 46% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 530, which is 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 67 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 56.8%, with a meaningful European community at 39.1% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.84 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
