About Dominion Road School

Dominion Road School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 210 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 454. The school has been open since 1858.

With 210 students on roll, Dominion Road School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 49% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 454, 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 Pasifika at 44.3% and Asian at 34.4%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

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.
