Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Taumarunui

Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Taumarunui is a co-educational composite school in Taumarunui, within the Manawatū-Whanganui Region, operating in the state sector, with 94 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 531. The school has been open since 2003.

With 94 students on roll, Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Taumarunui is a small school — larger than about 24% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 531, 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 68 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 45.5%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 2.46 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
