Te Rangihakahaka Centre for Science and Technology

Te Rangihakahaka Centre for Science and Technology is a co-educational composite (year 1-10) school in Rotorua, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 105 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 513. The school has been open since 2019.

With 105 students on roll, Te Rangihakahaka Centre for Science and Technology is a medium-sized school — larger than about 27% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 513, 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 50 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 53.8% and Pasifika at 23.1%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.29 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
