About Maketu School
Maketu School is a co-educational contributing school in Maketu, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 45 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 538. The school has been open since 1894.
With 45 students on roll, Maketu School is a very small school — larger than about 14% of New Zealand schools.
The school's Equity Index is 538, 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 75 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.
The largest group is Pasifika at 63.6%, with a meaningful European community at 36.4% — a mixed but clearly led roll.
On the isolation index the school scores 0.67 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
