About Westshore School

Westshore School is a co-educational contributing school in Napier, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state sector, with 73 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 500. The school has been open since 1897.

With 73 students on roll, Westshore School is a small school — larger than about 20% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 500, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support.

88.3% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Middle Eastern / Latin American / African descent make up 6.7%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.14 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
