Kerepehi School

Kerepehi School is a co-educational full primary school in Kerepehi, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 70 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 514. The school has been open since 1902.

With 70 students on roll, Kerepehi School is a small school — larger than about 19% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 514, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 51 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 69.8%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 20.9% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.13 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
