About TKKM o Tamaki Nui A Rua

TKKM o Tamaki Nui A Rua is a co-educational composite school in Dannevirke, within the Manawatū-Whanganui Region, operating in the state sector, with 81 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 535. The school has been open since 1992.

With 81 students on roll, TKKM o Tamaki Nui A Rua is a small school — larger than about 22% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 535, 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 72 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

88.2% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 11.8%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.84 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
