Waitoki School at a glance

Waitoki School is a co-educational full primary school in Kaukapakapa, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 117 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 422. The school has been open since 1924.

With 117 students on roll, Waitoki School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 30% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 422, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm. The gap of 41 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

85.6% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Middle Eastern / Latin American / African descent make up 8%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.65 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
