TKKM o Puau Te Moananui-a-Kiwa
ERO's 2024 review found students show strong whānau connections and pride in their cultural identity, with most Years 1–8 students achieving well in mathematics. However, reading and writing progress are areas of concern, and only half of Years 9–10 students are achieving well in te reo Māori, which is impacting overall academic achievement.

What is the school zone for Glen Innes?
Many New Zealand state schools operate an enrolment zone (home zone), so your home address — not just the suburb — determines which in-zone state schools you can enrol at. Living in Glen Innes does not guarantee a place at any particular school. Check each school's current zone with the school directly or use our by-address tool to see which schools cover a specific Glen Innes address.
Decile or EQI — how are Glen Innes schools rated for socio-economic need?
New Zealand replaced the decile system with the Equity Index (EQI) in 2023. A lower EQI means a more socio-economically advantaged community; a higher EQI means greater need. EQI is a funding tool, not a quality measure — a high-EQI school can outperform a low-EQI one. The SchoolsNearMe composite controls for EQI so a school serving a more disadvantaged community isn't unfairly penalised.
