About Conifer Grove School

Conifer Grove School is a co-educational full primary school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 580 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 431. The school has been open since 1981.

With 580 students on roll, Conifer Grove School is a large school — larger than about 85% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 431, 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.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 49.1% and European at 26%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.29 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
