Otahuhu College

Otahuhu College is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 1,096 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 509. The school has been open since 1931.

With 1,096 students on roll, Otahuhu College is a very large school — larger than about 95% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 509, which is 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 46 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 67.9%, with a meaningful Asian community at 24% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.12 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
