Secondary school statistics

NZQA and the Ministry of Education are introducing a new enrolment-based measure of NCEA and University Entrance attainment from January 2019. For more information see New enrolment-based measure of NCEA attainment.

Secondary school results reports provide data on how schools perform in NCEA and other national qualifications.

Achievement files for NCEA and New Zealand Scholarship provide data (by year) in excel spreadsheet form.

Commentary on school statistics

New Zealand's national system of assessment and qualifications for secondary school students produces a great deal of information that can be used to monitor the performance of the school system itself, and of the diverse range of students who are engaged in senior secondary education.

Each year NZQA produces its annual statistics report - Annual Report on NCEA & New Zealand Scholarship Data & Statistics. This report focuses on the previous year's assessments, but also summarises the activity and achievement of New Zealand's secondary school students over a number of prior years.
