Mt Albert Grammar School at a glance

Mt Albert Grammar School is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 3,651 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 415. The school has been open since 1922.

With 3,651 students on roll, Mt Albert Grammar School is a one of the largest school — larger than about 100% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 415, 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 48 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 43% and Asian at 33.4%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.19 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
