TKKM o Tupoho

TKKM o Tupoho is a co-educational composite school in Whanganui, within the Manawatū-Whanganui Region, operating in the state sector, with 179 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 549. The school has been open since 1998.

With 179 students on roll, TKKM o Tupoho is a medium-sized school — larger than about 44% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 549, 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 86 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 60%, with a meaningful European community at 36% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.43 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
