Te Kura O Te Teko

Te Kura O Te Teko is a co-educational full primary school in Te Teko, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 151 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 532. The school has been open since 1881.

With 151 students on roll, Te Kura O Te Teko is a medium-sized school — larger than about 38% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

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 largest group is European at 61.3%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 35.5% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.99 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
