Te Rangi Aniwaniwa at a glance

Te Rangi Aniwaniwa is a co-educational composite school in Awanui, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 181 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 519. The school has been open since 1993.

With 181 students on roll, Te Rangi Aniwaniwa is a medium-sized school — larger than about 44% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 519, 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 56 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 59.3%, with a meaningful European community at 40.7% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 2.62 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
