Pokuru School

Pokuru School is a co-educational contributing school in Pokuru, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 145 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 461. The school has been open since 1907.

With 145 students on roll, Pokuru School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 37% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 461, 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.

90.6% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 4%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.62 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
