About Taikura Rudolf Steiner School

Taikura Rudolf Steiner School is a co-educational composite school in Hastings, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 286 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 437. The school has been open since 1950.

With 286 students on roll, Taikura Rudolf Steiner School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 59% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 437, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.03 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
