About St Teresa's School (Karori)

St Teresa's School (Karori) is a co-educational full primary school in Wellington, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 123 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 390. The school has been open since 1858.

With 123 students on roll, St Teresa's School (Karori) is a medium-sized school — larger than about 31% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 390, 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 73 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.
