Tiniroto School

Tiniroto School is a co-educational full primary school in Tiniroto, within the Gisborne Region, operating in the state sector, with 7 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 470. The school has been open since 1892.

With 7 students on roll, Tiniroto School is a very small school — larger than about 3% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 470, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

The largest group is Pasifika at 66.7%, with a meaningful European community at 33.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.65 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
