Pokeno School

Pokeno School is a co-educational full primary school in Pokeno, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 682 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 429. The school has been open since 1866.

With 682 students on roll, Pokeno School is a large school — larger than about 89% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 429, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 38% and European at 35.9%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.42 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
