About Tauranga Waldorf School

Tauranga Waldorf School is a co-educational full primary school in Tauranga, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 196 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 413. The school has been open since 1988.

With 196 students on roll, Tauranga Waldorf School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 47% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 413, which is well below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm. The gap of 50 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

92.1% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Middle Eastern / Latin American / African descent make up 3.7%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.28 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
