Northern Health School

Northern Health School is a co-educational specialist school school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 8 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 569. The school has been open since 1920.

With 8 students on roll, Northern Health School is a very small school — larger than about 3% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 569, which is well above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 106 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

80% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 20%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.04 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
