About Te Kuiti Primary School

Te Kuiti Primary School is a co-educational full primary school in Te Kuiti, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 326 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 489. The school has been open since 1897.

With 326 students on roll, Te Kuiti Primary School is a large school — larger than about 64% of New Zealand schools.
