Maungaraki School

Maungaraki School is a co-educational full primary school in Lower Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 365 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 379. The school has been open since 1967.

With 365 students on roll, Maungaraki School is a large school — larger than about 69% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 379, 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 84 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 60.4%, with a meaningful Asian community at 28.8% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.11 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
