About Pukekohe East School

Pukekohe East School is a co-educational contributing school in Pukekohe, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 161 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 404. The school has been open since 1880.

With 161 students on roll, Pukekohe East School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 40% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 404, which is well 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 gap of 59 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 66.7%, with a meaningful Asian community at 13.8% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.24 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
