Gulf Harbour School

Gulf Harbour School is a co-educational contributing school in Whangaparaoa, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 565 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 414. The school has been open since 1998.

With 565 students on roll, Gulf Harbour School is a large school — larger than about 85% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 414, 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 49 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

80% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 8.2%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.93 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
