About Korokoro School

Korokoro School is a co-educational full primary school in Lower Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 200 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 375. The school has been open since 1904.

With 200 students on roll, Korokoro School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 47% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 375, which is well below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm. The gap of 88 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

79.7% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 11.5%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.17 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
