About Epsom Girls Grammar School

Epsom Girls Grammar School is a girls school secondary (year 9-15) school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 2,335 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 402. The school has been open since 1917.

With 2,335 students on roll, Epsom Girls Grammar School is a one of the largest school — larger than about 100% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 402, 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 61 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 48.1% and European at 30.5%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.12 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
