About Pinehill School (Browns Bay)

Pinehill School (Browns Bay) is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 408 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 359. The school has been open since 1997.

With 408 students on roll, Pinehill School (Browns Bay) is a large school — larger than about 74% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 359, 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 104 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.
