About Tokomairiro High School

Tokomairiro High School is a co-educational secondary (year 7-15) school in Milton, within the Otago Region, operating in the state sector, with 196 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 500. The school has been open since 1966.

With 196 students on roll, Tokomairiro High School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 47% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 500, 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.

84.6% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 5.5%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.09 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
