Glendowie School

Glendowie School is a co-educational full primary school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 676 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 364. The school has been open since 1952.

With 676 students on roll, Glendowie School is a large school — larger than about 89% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 364, 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 99 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 48.3% and Asian at 34.1%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

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.
