Henderson North School at a glance

Henderson North School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 366 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 477. The school has been open since 1957.

With 366 students on roll, Henderson North School is a large school — larger than about 70% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 477, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 38.1% and Pasifika at 37.8%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.22 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
