Marist Catholic School (Herne Bay) at a glance

Marist Catholic School (Herne Bay) is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 124 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 380. The school has been open since 1927.

With 124 students on roll, Marist Catholic School (Herne Bay) is a medium-sized school — larger than about 31% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 380, 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 83 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.11 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
