About Tokoroa North School

Tokoroa North School is a co-educational contributing school in Tokoroa, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 415 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 494. The school has been open since 1858.

With 415 students on roll, Tokoroa North School is a large school — larger than about 75% of New Zealand schools.
