Pukekohe North School at a glance

Pukekohe North School is a co-educational full primary school in Pukekohe, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 371 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 558. The school has been open since 1956.

With 371 students on roll, Pukekohe North School is a large school — larger than about 70% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 558, which is well above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 95 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 59.6%, with a meaningful European community at 21.2% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.16 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
