About Te Wharekura o Ngāti Rongomai

Te Wharekura o Ngāti Rongomai is a co-educational composite school in Rotorua, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 106 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 500. The school has been open since 2019.

With 106 students on roll, Te Wharekura o Ngāti Rongomai is a medium-sized school — larger than about 27% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 500, 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.
