Pakiri School at a glance

Pakiri School is a co-educational full primary school in Wellsford, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 8 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 486. The school has been open since 1877.

With 8 students on roll, Pakiri School is a very small school — larger than about 3% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 486, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

83.3% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 16.7%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.31 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
