Mauriceville School

Mauriceville School is a co-educational full primary school in Mauriceville, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 12 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 505. The school has been open since 1887.

With 12 students on roll, Mauriceville School is a very small school — larger than about 4% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 505, 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 42 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

100% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Māori descent make up 0%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.12 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
