Pukerua Bay School

Pukerua Bay School is a co-educational full primary school in Porirua, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 157 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 412. The school has been open since 1927.

With 157 students on roll, Pukerua Bay School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 39% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 412, which is well below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm. The gap of 51 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

83.6% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Middle Eastern / Latin American / African descent make up 6.9%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.31 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
