About Kohimarama School

Kohimarama School is a co-educational full primary school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 499 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 361. The school has been open since 1921.

With 499 students on roll, Kohimarama School is a large school — larger than about 81% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 361, 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 102 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 64.9%, with a meaningful Asian community at 22.5% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.28 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
