About Awhitu District School

Awhitu District School is a co-educational full primary school in Waiuku, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 108 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 472. The school has been open since 1949.

With 108 students on roll, Awhitu District School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 28% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 472, 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.

84.3% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 10.8%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.94 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
