About Te Aroha Primary School

Te Aroha Primary School is a co-educational full primary school in Te Aroha, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 223 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 496. The school has been open since 1881.

With 223 students on roll, Te Aroha Primary School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 51% of New Zealand schools.
