Te Kura ā Iwi o Whakatupuranga Rua Mano at a glance

Te Kura ā Iwi o Whakatupuranga Rua Mano is a co-educational composite school in Ōtaki, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 203 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 504. The school has been open since 2002.

With 203 students on roll, Te Kura ā Iwi o Whakatupuranga Rua Mano is a medium-sized school — larger than about 48% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 504, 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 41 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 63.6%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 36.4% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.47 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
