About Auckland Girls' Grammar School

Auckland Girls' Grammar School is a girls school secondary (year 9-15) school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 1,185 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 485. The school has been open since 1888.

With 1,185 students on roll, Auckland Girls' Grammar School is a very large school — larger than about 96% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 485, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

The largest group is Pasifika at 59%, with a meaningful Asian community at 21% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.06 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
