About this school · from Ministry of Education data
Te Takarangi in brief
Te Takarangi is a small state co-educational primary school (Year 1–8) in Te Ti Mangonui, Purerua, with 58 students on the roll. Its Equity Index of 486 is above the national midpoint, meaning more of its students face socio-economic barriers, and the school receives extra funding to support them. EQI reflects funding need, not school quality. It has an enrolment zone, so living at an in-zone address guarantees a place. It opened in 1903.
