How this is computed

ERO review not in our dataset

We don't yet have a parsed ERO composite for Hōhepa School, so the ERO axis below uses the national-average ERO score (75/100) as a placeholder. The composite shown above incorporates that estimate. When we ingest a real ERO review for this school, the score will refresh and may move materially in either direction.

If you've spotted a recent ERO report we've missed, let us know — every flagged report gets re-ingested on the next refresh.

5%
75/100 — national average (no ERO review in our dataset) · bottom 10% of band (n=96) · why?
Synthetic placeholder. We don't yet have an ERO composite for this school in our dataset, so this axis uses the national-average ERO score (75/100) as a placeholder. The composite incorporates this estimate. When a real review is ingested it will replace the placeholder and the score may move materially. Peer comparison: bottom 10% of band (n=96).
