About Te Pi'ipi'inga Kakano Mai I Rangiatea

Te Pi'ipi'inga Kakano Mai I Rangiatea is a co-educational composite school in New Plymouth, within the Taranaki Region, operating in the state sector, with 132 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 514. The school has been open since 1992.

With 132 students on roll, Te Pi'ipi'inga Kakano Mai I Rangiatea is a medium-sized school — larger than about 33% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 514, 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 51 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

78.6% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 21.4%.

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.
