About Poroutawhao School
Poroutawhao School is a co-educational full primary school in Levin, within the Manawatū-Whanganui Region, operating in the state sector, with 99 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 476. The school has been open since 1924.
With 99 students on roll, Poroutawhao School is a small school — larger than about 26% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.
The school's Equity Index is 476, 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.
81.4% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 8.2%.
On the isolation index the school scores 0.71 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
