About Auckland Point School

Auckland Point School is a co-educational contributing school in Nelson, within the Nelson Region, operating in the state sector, with 85 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 501. The school has been open since 1927.

With 85 students on roll, Auckland Point School is a small school — larger than about 23% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 501, 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.

The largest group is European at 68.7%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 18.1% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.03 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
