I don't live in NP, or even been there, but I find the Statistics website rather interesting.

For Inglewood - Inglewood Urban Area Community Profile(published)

For Oakura - Oakura Community Profile(published)

Just by reading those statistics, they show that in Inglewood 40% of kids leave school without any qualification at all whilst in Oakura that is 20% with 42% going onto further education. Maybe these statistics are not entirely the story, but I know where I would aim for!!!



This site might be useful too - Ministry of Education - School Enrolment Zones
