About Oteha Valley School

Oteha Valley School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 531 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 357. The school has been open since 2004.

With 531 students on roll, Oteha Valley School is a large school — larger than about 83% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 357, 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 106 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Asian at 72.5%, with a meaningful European community at 16.4% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.22 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
