About Te Kura o Ngaati Hauaa

Te Kura o Ngaati Hauaa is a co-educational full primary school in Cambridge, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 113 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 524. The school has been open since 1954.

With 113 students on roll, Te Kura o Ngaati Hauaa is a medium-sized school — larger than about 29% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 524, 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 61 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

75% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 18.8%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.42 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
