Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hokianga at a glance

Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hokianga is a co-educational composite school in Opononi, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 139 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 521. The school has been open since 2003.

With 139 students on roll, Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hokianga is a medium-sized school — larger than about 35% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 521, 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 58 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Pasifika at 50% and European at 42.9%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 2.65 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
