Socio-economic decile
The decile rating is a Bewertungsschematik in education in New Zealand. This indicates in which socio-economic group, the catchment area of the school is to be classified. All schools will be evaluated by the elementary school through college.
The scale is 1 to 10 A rating of " 1" indicates an especially poor catchment area, a "10 " is a very prosperous. More specifically, it indicates the rating, the percentage of students from a " socially weak" classified communities come. A decile of 1 means that the school among the top 10 % of schools is one with the most students from low-income communities, a decile of 10 means that the school among the top 10 % of schools with the fewest counts students from low-income communities. This review, however, permits no direct inference of the actual socio-economic background of the students of a school. The Review is published by the New Zealand Ministry of Education on a website for each school. The last time the data were revised based on the results of the 2006 census.
The data are obtained from the census data collected every five years. The schools give it all from either (less than 120 students ), half ( 121-179 students) or one third ( 180 or more students) of the residential addresses of the students so that residences with other census data can be linked. To determine the decile ratings only the smallest statistical measurement units (mesh blocks ) are used, in which the pupils of a school life. These are evaluated using the following criteria:
The influence of the five dimensions on the decile rating is weighted according to the number of students per mesh block.
