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 →

Who may enrol

Enrolment zone — advisory

Ohau School operates an enrolment scheme (a home zone). This site does not determine whether an address is in zone. The Ministry's published zone boundaries are low-resolution and are not suitable for checking an individual property. Confirm with the Ministry's zone map or with the school directly. Out-of-zone places are offered by ballot — how ballots work.
