About Huapai District School

Huapai District School is a co-educational full primary school in Huapai, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 522 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 406. The school has been open since 1919.

With 522 students on roll, Huapai District School is a large school — larger than about 82% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 406, 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 57 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 60.7%, with a meaningful Asian community at 28.9% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.6 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
