TKKM o Ngati Kahungunu Ki Heretaunga

TKKM o Ngati Kahungunu Ki Heretaunga is a co-educational composite school in Hastings, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 237 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 552. The school has been open since 1998.

With 237 students on roll, TKKM o Ngati Kahungunu Ki Heretaunga is a medium-sized school — larger than about 53% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 552, which is well 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 89 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 61.5%, with a meaningful European community at 34.6% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.19 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
