Toko School at a glance

Toko School is a co-educational full primary school in Stratford, within the Taranaki Region, operating in the state sector, with 109 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 461. The school has been open since 1893.

With 109 students on roll, Toko School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 28% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 461, 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.

99% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 1%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.31 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
