Corinna School
About this school · from Ministry of Education data
Corinna School in brief
Corinna School is a small state co-educational primary school (Year 1–8) in Waitangirua, Porirua, with 172 students on the roll. Its Equity Index of 522 is above the national midpoint, meaning more of its students face socio-economic barriers, and the school receives extra funding to support them. EQI reflects funding need, not school quality. It has an enrolment zone, so living at an in-zone address guarantees a place. It opened in 1967.
