About Epsom Normal School

Epsom Normal School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 638 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 355. The school has been open since 1886.

With 638 students on roll, Epsom Normal School is a large school — larger than about 88% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 355, 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 108 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

79.1% of students identify as Asian, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Middle Eastern / Latin American / African descent make up 7.5%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.15 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
