About Parkside Christian S D A School

Parkside Christian S D A School is a co-educational full primary school in Napier, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 62 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 471. The school has been open since 1978.

With 62 students on roll, Parkside Christian S D A School is a small school — larger than about 18% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 471, 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.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Middle Eastern / Latin American / African at 45.9% and European at 24.6%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.18 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
