Mount Maunganui Primary School

Mount Maunganui Primary School is a co-educational contributing school in Mount Maunganui, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 408 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 399. The school has been open since 1913.

With 408 students on roll, Mount Maunganui Primary School is a large school — larger than about 74% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 399, 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 64 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

80.3% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 8.9%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.28 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
