Gladstone School (Auckland) at a glance

Gladstone School (Auckland) is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 840 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 378. The school has been open since 1887.

With 840 students on roll, Gladstone School (Auckland) is a very large school — larger than about 93% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 378, 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 85 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 46.5% and Asian at 41.7%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.2 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
