Te Kura o Hirangi

Te Kura o Hirangi is a co-educational composite school in Turangi, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 270 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 535. The school has been open since 2004.

With 270 students on roll, Te Kura o Hirangi is a medium-sized school — larger than about 57% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 535, 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 72 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 50% and Asian at 43.8%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.54 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
