About Helensville School

Helensville School is a co-educational full primary school in Helensville, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 501 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 447. The school has been open since 1877.

With 501 students on roll, Helensville School is a large school — larger than about 81% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 447, 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.
