TKKM o Ngati Ruanui

TKKM o Ngati Ruanui is a co-educational composite school in Hāwera, within the Taranaki Region, operating in the state sector, with 150 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 531. The school has been open since 1998.

With 150 students on roll, TKKM o Ngati Ruanui is a medium-sized school — larger than about 38% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 531, 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 68 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 53.6% and Pasifika at 42.9%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.3 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
