Te Kura o Kokohuia

Te Kura o Kokohuia is a co-educational composite school in Whanganui, within the Manawatū-Whanganui Region, operating in the state sector, with 230 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 532. The school has been open since 1967.

With 230 students on roll, Te Kura o Kokohuia is a medium-sized school — larger than about 52% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 532, 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 69 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 54.2% and Pasifika at 43.8%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.41 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
