Mangapikopiko School at a glance

Mangapikopiko School is a co-educational contributing school in Papakura, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 278 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 528. The school has been open since 1976.

With 278 students on roll, Mangapikopiko School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 58% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 528, 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 65 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 56%, with a meaningful European community at 21.1% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.41 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
