About Mission Heights Junior College

Mission Heights Junior College is a co-educational secondary (year 7-10) school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 933 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 407. The school has been open since 2008.

With 933 students on roll, Mission Heights Junior College is a very large school — larger than about 94% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 407, 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 56 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Asian at 69.5%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 14.1% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

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.
