Tautoro School at a glance

Tautoro School is a co-educational full primary school in Kaikohe, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 148 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 550. The school has been open since 2005.

With 148 students on roll, Tautoro School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 37% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 550, 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 87 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 55.6%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 44.4% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.78 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
