TKKM o Whangaroa

TKKM o Whangaroa is a co-educational composite school in Northland, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 32 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 540. The school has been open since 1999.

With 32 students on roll, TKKM o Whangaroa is a very small school — larger than about 10% 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.

75% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 25%.

On the isolation index the school scores 2.26 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
