Te Kura Amorangi o Whakawatea

Te Kura Amorangi o Whakawatea is a co-educational full primary school in Hamilton, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 127 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 520. The school has been open since 1995.

With 127 students on roll, Te Kura Amorangi o Whakawatea is a medium-sized school — larger than about 32% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 520, 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 57 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 52.2% and Pasifika at 43.5%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.14 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
