Mapua School

Mapua School is a co-educational full primary school in Mapua, within the Tasman Region, operating in the state sector, with 249 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 398. The school has been open since 1915.

With 249 students on roll, Mapua School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 54% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 398, 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 65 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

95.2% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Other descent make up 2.4%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.56 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
