About Koraunui School

Koraunui School is a co-educational contributing school in Lower Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 176 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 495. The school has been open since 2005.

With 176 students on roll, Koraunui School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 43% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 495, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 48.7% and Pasifika at 26%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.32 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
