Arakura School

Arakura School is a co-educational contributing school in Lower Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 152 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 500. The school has been open since 1964.

With 152 students on roll, Arakura School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 38% 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.

The largest group is European at 69.2%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 21% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.28 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
