About Manuka Primary School

Manuka Primary School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 244 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 411. The school has been open since 1968.

With 244 students on roll, Manuka Primary School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 54% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 411, 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 52 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Asian at 57.3%, with a meaningful European community at 29.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.09 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
