Territorial Authority Summary

The Ministry has selected a number of key measures which can be used to understand education in this authority. The measures focus on student achievement. The data is presented in two ways: a radar diagram and a table.

In the diagram below the black line represents the New Zealand performance for each measure; it has been set to one. The blue line shows the authority’s performance as compared to the rest of New Zealand. Where the blue line is outside the black line the authority has a better performance than the rest of the country.

The green line on the diagram shows performance of the regional council the authority is associated with (if the authority and regional council are the same as in Gisborne the green line is not shown). Where the blue line is outside the green line the authority has better performance than the regional council.

Where data is not available for a given measure then there is no coloured line for a comparison with the New Zealand score. In these situations the coloured lines draw in to the centre from the last available point of comparison.

The table below includes the key measures from the radar diagram above along with other measures of interest. The data presented here are the actual rates for the authority and New Zealand. For most of these measures more detailed information can be found in the other tabs associated with this authority and its associated regional council.
