About Mairangi Bay School

Mairangi Bay School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 486 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 358. The school has been open since 1967.

With 486 students on roll, Mairangi Bay School is a large school — larger than about 80% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 358, 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 105 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Asian at 56.5%, with a meaningful European community at 31.7% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.16 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
