About Tāmaki School

Tāmaki School is a co-educational full primary school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 179 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 522. The school has been open since 1951.

With 179 students on roll, Tāmaki School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 44% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 522, which is 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 59 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

83.7% of students identify as Pasifika, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of European descent make up 12.8%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.31 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
