Kia Aroha Campus at a glance

Kia Aroha Campus is a co-educational composite school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 326 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 539. The school has been open since 2011.

With 326 students on roll, Kia Aroha Campus is a large school — larger than about 64% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 539, 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 76 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

82.5% of students identify as Pasifika, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of European descent make up 12%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.11 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
