About May Road School

May Road School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 182 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 496. The school has been open since 1925.

With 182 students on roll, May Road School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 44% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 496, 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.

The largest group is Pasifika at 57.8%, with a meaningful Asian community at 16.1% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.26 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
