TKKM o Te Ara Hou at a glance

TKKM o Te Ara Hou is a co-educational composite school in Napier, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 241 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 525. The school has been open since 2002.

With 241 students on roll, TKKM o Te Ara Hou is a medium-sized school — larger than about 53% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 525, 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 62 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 56.3%, with a meaningful European community at 37.5% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.1 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
