TKKM o Wairarapa at a glance

TKKM o Wairarapa is a co-educational composite school in Masterton, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 171 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 532. The school has been open since 2002.

With 171 students on roll, TKKM o Wairarapa is a medium-sized school — larger than about 42% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 532, 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 69 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 66.7%, with a meaningful European community at 33.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.97 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
