Albany Junior High School at a glance

Albany Junior High School is a co-educational secondary (year 7-10) school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 1,154 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 408. The school has been open since 2005.

With 1,154 students on roll, Albany Junior High School is a very large school — larger than about 96% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 408, 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 55 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 47.9% and Asian at 37.5%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.17 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
