With 89 students on roll, Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hawaiki Hou is a small school — larger than about 23% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 555, which is well 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 92 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

83.3% of students identify as Pasifika, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of European descent make up 16.7%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.85 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
