About Te Kuiti High School

Te Kuiti High School is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Te Kuiti, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 297 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 522. The school has been open since 1955.

With 297 students on roll, Te Kuiti High School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 61% 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.

The largest group is European at 65.2%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 19.9% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.36 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
