About Koromatua School

Koromatua School is a co-educational full primary school in Hamilton, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 222 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 473. The school has been open since 1905.

With 222 students on roll, Koromatua School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 51% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 473, 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.

The largest group is European at 62.2%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 35.4% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.25 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
