What kind of school is Tauricus Combined School?

Tauricus Combined School is a public combined school in Craigieburn Estate, within the Umgungundlovu education district of KwaZulu-Natal. EMIS records it as a small-to-medium school with 337 enrolled learners and 11 educators, giving a learner-to-educator ratio of 31:1.

It is classified as Quintile 1 — a government classification based on the surrounding community's socioeconomic profile, not a measure of school quality. It is designated as a no-fee school, so families do not pay tuition fees.

The school falls within the Mpofana local municipality. Among 145 Q1 Combined schools in KwaZulu-Natal, it has a learner-educator ratio close to the median for similar schools. EMIS classifies the location as rural.

The school is at Greytown Road, Reitvlei, Mooiriver, 3250, and can be reached on 073 698 7533.

Note: The Urban/Rural classification is sourced directly from EMIS and may reflect historical registration data. See Data Limitations.

Learner numbers reported to the Department, by year

These counts are not a measure of quality. A number can change because a school adds or drops grades, because new schools open nearby or boundaries change, or because of an error in what was reported.

Learners by year, with the number of learners down the left. A gap is a year we have no figure for. Outlined bars are years the school was listed as a different type of school.

The Department’s lists record this school for 2016 as an intermediate school. A school listed as a different type usually offered a different range of grades, so those numbers and later ones may not be counting the same thing.
