Te Kura o Pakipaki at a glance

Te Kura o Pakipaki is a co-educational full primary school in Pakipaki, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 56 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 545. The school has been open since 1907.

With 56 students on roll, Te Kura o Pakipaki is a small school — larger than about 16% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 545, 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 82 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 57.1%, with a meaningful European community at 33.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.18 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
