Mangakōtukutuku College

Mangakōtukutuku College is a co-educational secondary (year 7-15) school in Hamilton, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 745 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 529. The school has been open since 2024.

With 745 students on roll, Mangakōtukutuku College is a very large school — larger than about 91% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 529, 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 66 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 38.1% and Asian at 30.3%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.1 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
