Marcellin College at a glance

Marcellin College is a co-educational secondary (year 7-15) school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 462 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 470. The school has been open since 1958.

With 462 students on roll, Marcellin College is a large school — larger than about 78% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 470, 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.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.23 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
