About Parkside School

Parkside School is a co-educational specialist school school in Pukekohe, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 177 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 493. The school has been open since 1971.

With 177 students on roll, Parkside School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 43% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 493, 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 largest group is European at 55.1%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 28.1% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.19 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
