Mt Albert School

Mt Albert School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 539 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 390. The school has been open since 1869.

With 539 students on roll, Mt Albert School is a large school — larger than about 83% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 390, 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 73 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 42.6% and Asian at 38.6%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.18 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
