Glenbrook School at a glance

Glenbrook School is a co-educational full primary school in Waiuku, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 303 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 443. The school has been open since 1877.

With 303 students on roll, Glenbrook School is a large school — larger than about 61% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 443, which is 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 largest group is European at 65.6%, with a meaningful Asian community at 14.9% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.4 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
