TKKM o Ngaringaomatariki

TKKM o Ngaringaomatariki is a co-educational composite school in Wellsford, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 95 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 524. The school has been open since 2007.

With 95 students on roll, TKKM o Ngaringaomatariki is a small school — larger than about 25% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 524, 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 61 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 56.5%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 43.5% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.43 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
