About Te Kōpuku High

Te Kōpuku High is a co-educational secondary (year 7-15) school in Hamilton, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 348 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 525. The school has been open since 2019.

With 348 students on roll, Te Kōpuku High is a large school — larger than about 67% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 525, 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 62 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 67.4%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 29.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.18 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
