About Te Miro School

Te Miro School is a co-educational full primary school in Cambridge, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 58 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 406. The school has been open since 1920.

With 58 students on roll, Te Miro School is a small school — larger than about 17% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 406, 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 57 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

91.5% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Middle Eastern / Latin American / African descent make up 5.1%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.56 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
