About Avondale Primary School (Auckland)

Avondale Primary School (Auckland) is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 383 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 444. The school has been open since 1868.

With 383 students on roll, Avondale Primary School (Auckland) is a large school — larger than about 72% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 444, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.16 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
