Blind and Low Vision Education Network NZ

Blind and Low Vision Education Network NZ is a co-educational specialist school school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 75 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 480. The school has been open since 1965.

With 75 students on roll, Blind and Low Vision Education Network NZ is a small school — larger than about 20% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 480, 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 roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 42.1% and Pasifika at 36.8%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

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.
