About Kaitoke School (Claris)

Kaitoke School (Claris) is a co-educational full primary school in Great Barrier Island, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 54 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 467. The school has been open since 1988.

With 54 students on roll, Kaitoke School (Claris) is a small school — larger than about 16% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 467, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

100% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Māori descent make up 0%.

On the isolation index the school scores 5.06 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
