Morningside School

Morningside School is a co-educational contributing school in Whangarei, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 327 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 490. The school has been open since 1963.

With 327 students on roll, Morningside School is a large school — larger than about 64% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 490, 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 European at 69.1%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 16.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.59 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
