TKKM o Te Puaha o Waikato

TKKM o Te Puaha o Waikato is a co-educational full primary school in Port Waikato, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 54 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 540. The school has been open since 1998.

With 54 students on roll, TKKM o Te Puaha o Waikato is a small school — larger than about 16% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 540, which is well 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 77 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 60%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 20% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.95 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
