Corinna School at a glance

Corinna School is a co-educational full primary school in Porirua, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 142 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 522. The school has been open since 1967.

With 142 students on roll, Corinna School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 36% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 522, 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 gap of 59 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 73.1%, with a meaningful European community at 17.2% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.15 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
