Oratia School

Oratia School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 448 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 410. The school has been open since 1858.

With 448 students on roll, Oratia School is a large school — larger than about 77% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 410, 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 53 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

75.4% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 12.4%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.14 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
