About Manurewa West School

Manurewa West School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 454 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 495. The school has been open since 1858.

With 454 students on roll, Manurewa West School is a large school — larger than about 78% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 495, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.
