About Homai School

Homai School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 409 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 505. The school has been open since 1955.

With 409 students on roll, Homai School is a large school — larger than about 74% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 505, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 42 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 70.6%, with a meaningful Asian community at 20.5% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.16 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
