About Te Puke Primary School
Te Puke Primary School is a co-educational contributing school in Te Puke, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 319 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 469. The school has been open since 1883.
With 319 students on roll, Te Puke Primary School is a large school — larger than about 63% of New Zealand schools.
The school's Equity Index is 469, 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.
The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 43.5% and European at 41.3%. 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.
