Kelston School

Kelston School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 311 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 479. The school has been open since 1953.

With 311 students on roll, Kelston School is a large school — larger than about 62% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 479, 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 Pasifika at 42.4% and Asian at 33.8%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.07 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
