The national percentage of each school type is based on the total population of schools as at 1 July 2006. For this study it excludes kura kaupapa Māori and The Correspondence School. This applies to locality and decile in Tables 2 and 3.
A school’s decile indicates the extent to which a school draws its students from low socio-economic communities. Decile 1 schools are the 10 percent of schools with the highest proportion of students from low socio-economic communities, whereas decile 10 schools are the 10 percent of schools with the lowest proportion of these students.
