About Mulberry Grove School

Mulberry Grove School is a co-educational full primary school in Tryphena, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 17 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 482. The school has been open since 1858.

With 17 students on roll, Mulberry Grove School is a very small school — larger than about 6% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 482, 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 68.8%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 18.8% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 5.06 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
