About Waitetuna School

Waitetuna School is a co-educational full primary school in Raglan, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 64 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 423. The school has been open since 1905.

With 64 students on roll, Waitetuna School is a small school — larger than about 18% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 423, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

82.8% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 12.5%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.65 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
