Paparore School

Paparore School is a co-educational contributing school in Awanui, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 169 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 483. The school has been open since 1900.

With 169 students on roll, Paparore School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 42% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 483, 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.

76.9% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 13.7%.

On the isolation index the school scores 2.82 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
