Nuhaka School had 97 students enrolled at Jul 2026.

Māori 7779%
European/Pākehā 3637%

These add up to more than the roll. The Ministry records ethnicity as total response: a student who identifies with more than one ethnicity is counted in each. Percentages are each group's share of the 97 students on the roll, so they sum to about 120%, not 100%.

What EQI measures

The Equity Index estimates the extent to which a school's students face socio-economic barriers to achievement. It describes the community a school serves — it does not measure school quality, teaching, or student outcomes. A school facing more barriers can be an outstanding school. For independent evaluation, read the school's ERO reports. What EQI means →
