Pigeon Mountain School at a glance

Pigeon Mountain School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 503 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 353. The school has been open since 1979.

With 503 students on roll, Pigeon Mountain School is a large school — larger than about 81% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 353, 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 110 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

82.7% of students identify as Asian, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of European descent make up 10.3%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.41 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
