Marshall Laing School at a glance

Marshall Laing School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 641 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 378. The school has been open since 1962.

With 641 students on roll, Marshall Laing School is a large school — larger than about 88% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 378, 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 85 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Asian at 72.1%, with a meaningful European community at 11% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.24 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
