About Mokoia School

Mokoia School is a co-educational contributing school in Mokoia, within the Taranaki Region, operating in the state sector, with 24 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 478. The school has been open since 1904.

With 24 students on roll, Mokoia School is a very small school — larger than about 7% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 478, 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.

81.8% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 13.6%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.38 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
