About TKKM o Te Atihaunui-A-Paparangi

TKKM o Te Atihaunui-A-Paparangi is a co-educational full primary school in Whanganui, within the Manawatū-Whanganui Region, operating in the state sector, with 127 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 507. The school has been open since 1991.

With 127 students on roll, TKKM o Te Atihaunui-A-Paparangi is a medium-sized school — larger than about 32% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 507, 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 44 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.
