Koru School

Koru School is a co-educational full primary school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 473 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 504. The school has been open since 1978.

With 473 students on roll, Koru School is a large school — larger than about 79% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 504, 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 41 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

86% of students identify as Pasifika, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 9.6%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.21 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
