About Upper Atiamuri School

Upper Atiamuri School is a co-educational full primary school in Atiamuri, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 56 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 468. The school has been open since 1939.

With 56 students on roll, Upper Atiamuri School is a small school — larger than about 16% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 468, 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.

78% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 20%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.82 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
