About TKKM o Nga Uri A Maui

TKKM o Nga Uri A Maui is a co-educational composite school in Gisborne, within the Gisborne Region, operating in the state sector, with 221 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 515. The school has been open since 1993.

With 221 students on roll, TKKM o Nga Uri A Maui is a medium-sized school — larger than about 51% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 515, 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 52 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 62.5%, with a meaningful Asian community at 37.5% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.88 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
