Rangiora High School is a state co-educational secondary school located in Rangiora, New Zealand. Established in 1881 by an act of parliament and opened in 1884, the school has a roll of 1768 students from years 9 to 13 (approx. ages 12 to 18) as of July 2016.
Rangiora High School operates an enrolment scheme to help curb roll numbers and prevent overcrowding. The school's home zone, in which students residing are automatically entitled to be enrolled, covers much of the coastal half of the Waimakariri District and southern Hurunui District, extending north to Waipara, east to the Pacific Ocean, west to Cust, and south to the Waimakariri River. However, the zone excludes the towns of Kaiapoi, Woodend, Pegasus and Waikuku, which are instead served by Kaiapoi High School. Students residing outside the zone are sometimes accepted, as roll places allow in accordance with the enrolment scheme order of preference and secret ballot.
At the March 2012 Education Review Office (ERO) review of the school, the school had 1789 students enrolled, including 44 international students. The school roll's gender composition was 49% male and 51% female, and its ethnic composition was 85% New Zealand European (Pākehā), 10% Māori, 3% Asian and 2% other.
The school has a socio-economic decile rating of 9 (step Q), meaning it draws its school community from areas of low to moderately-low socio-economic disadvantage when compared to other New Zealand schools. The current decile came into force in January 2015, after a nationwide review of deciles following the 2013 Census. Previously, the school had a decile of 8 (step P).
