About TKKM o Pukemiro

TKKM o Pukemiro is a co-educational composite school in Kaitaia, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 150 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 537. The school has been open since 2002.

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

The school's Equity Index is 537, 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 74 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 59.1%, with a meaningful European community at 27.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 2.56 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
