Te Kura Māori ā Rohe o Waiohau

Te Kura Māori ā Rohe o Waiohau is a co-educational composite school in Whakatane, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 86 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 534. The school has been open since 1918.

With 86 students on roll, Te Kura Māori ā Rohe o Waiohau is a small school — larger than about 23% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 534, 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 71 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

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

On the isolation index the school scores 1.49 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
