Katikati Primary School is a co-educational contributing school in Katikati, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 554 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 471. The school has been open since 1876.

With 554 students on roll, Katikati Primary School is a large school — larger than about 84% of New Zealand schools.
