About Buckland School

Buckland School is a co-educational full primary school in Buckland-Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 286 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 433. The school has been open since 1892.

With 286 students on roll, Buckland School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 59% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 433, 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.

75.4% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 15.1%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.23 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
