Manurewa South School

Manurewa South School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 406 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 525. The school has been open since 1958.

With 406 students on roll, Manurewa South School is a large school — larger than about 74% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 525, 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 62 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 66.6%, with a meaningful Asian community at 15.9% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.29 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
