Elim Christian College at a glance

Elim Christian College is a co-educational composite school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 1,098 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 379. The school has been open since 1988.

With 1,098 students on roll, Elim Christian College is a very large school — larger than about 95% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 379, which is well 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 gap of 84 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 43.2% and Asian at 40.7%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.27 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
