About Clarkville Te Kura ki Waimātao

Clarkville Te Kura ki Waimātao is a co-educational full primary school in Kaiapoi, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 208 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 429. The school has been open since 1874.

With 208 students on roll, Clarkville Te Kura ki Waimātao is a medium-sized school — larger than about 49% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 429, 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.

88.6% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 5.9%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.38 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
