About Te Pohue School

Te Pohue School is a co-educational full primary school in Te Pohue, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 28 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 473. The school has been open since 1887.

With 28 students on roll, Te Pohue School is a very small school — larger than about 9% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 473, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

88.5% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 11.5%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.89 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
