Lakeview School

Lakeview School is a co-educational full primary school in Masterton, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 598 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 517. The school has been open since 2004.

With 598 students on roll, Lakeview School is a large school — larger than about 86% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 517, 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 54 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 72.1%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 15.8% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.99 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
