Te Awa School

Te Awa School is a co-educational contributing school in Napier, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 170 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 536. The school has been open since 1925.

With 170 students on roll, Te Awa School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 42% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 536, 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 73 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 62.9%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 25% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.08 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
