About TKKM o Te Rito

TKKM o Te Rito is a co-educational composite school in Ōtaki, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 98 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 486. The school has been open since 1991.

With 98 students on roll, TKKM o Te Rito is a small school — larger than about 26% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 486, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 53.8% and Pasifika at 42.3%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.46 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
