About Mission Heights Primary School

Mission Heights Primary School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 713 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 368. The school has been open since 2008.

With 713 students on roll, Mission Heights Primary School is a very large school — larger than about 90% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 368, 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 95 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

76.8% of students identify as Asian, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 10.7%.

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.
