TKKM o Te Rawhiti Roa

TKKM o Te Rawhiti Roa is a co-educational composite school in Whangarei, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 188 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 535. The school has been open since 1994.

With 188 students on roll, TKKM o Te Rawhiti Roa is a medium-sized school — larger than about 45% 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.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Pasifika at 50% and European at 35.7%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.73 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
