About Parkview Pārua

Parkview Pārua is a co-educational full primary school in Christchurch, within the Canterbury Region, operating in the state sector, with 393 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 477. The school has been open since 1977.

With 393 students on roll, Parkview Pārua is a large school — larger than about 72% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 477, 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.

84.6% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 10%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.29 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
