About KingsWay School

KingsWay School is a co-educational composite school in Red Beach, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 2,086 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 388. The school has been open since 1986.

With 2,086 students on roll, KingsWay School is a one of the largest school — larger than about 99% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 388, 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 75 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 48.8% and Asian at 36.6%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.49 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
