Tahuna School

Tahuna School is a co-educational contributing school in Tahuna, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 84 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 459. The school has been open since 1905.

With 84 students on roll, Tahuna School is a small school — larger than about 22% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 459, 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 largest group is European at 74.4%, with a meaningful Asian community at 18.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.79 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
