About Mt Richmond School

Mt Richmond School is a co-educational specialist school school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 208 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 494. The school has been open since 1956.

With 208 students on roll, Mt Richmond School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 49% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 494, 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.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.15 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
