About East Tamaki School

East Tamaki School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 175 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 513. The school has been open since 1962.

With 175 students on roll, East Tamaki School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 43% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 513, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 50 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

84.6% of students identify as Pasifika, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 8.6%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.13 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
