About Pukehamoamoa School

Pukehamoamoa School is a co-educational full primary school in Hastings, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 60 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 437. The school has been open since 1921.

With 60 students on roll, Pukehamoamoa School is a small school — larger than about 17% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 437, 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.

96.6% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 3.4%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.48 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
