Te Kura o Nga Ruahine Rangi

Te Kura o Nga Ruahine Rangi is a co-educational composite school in Mangatoki, within the Taranaki Region, operating in the state sector, with 64 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 531. The school has been open since 2007.

With 64 students on roll, Te Kura o Nga Ruahine Rangi is a small school — larger than about 18% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 531, 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 68 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 50% and Pasifika at 25%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.34 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
