About Manurewa High School

Manurewa High School is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 2,369 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 508. The school has been open since 1960.

With 2,369 students on roll, Manurewa High School is a one of the largest school — larger than about 100% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 508, 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 45 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.
