About TKKM o Ngati Kahungunu o Te Wairoa

TKKM o Ngati Kahungunu o Te Wairoa is a co-educational composite school in Wairoa, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 189 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 532. The school has been open since 1997.

With 189 students on roll, TKKM o Ngati Kahungunu o Te Wairoa is a medium-sized school — larger than about 45% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 532, 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 69 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 46.7% and Pasifika at 33.3%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 2.04 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
