Paekākāriki School

Paekākāriki School is a co-educational full primary school in Paekakariki, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 103 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 411. The school has been open since 1886.

With 103 students on roll, Paekākāriki School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 27% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 411, 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 52 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

81.4% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 8.8%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.31 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
