Pomaria Road School at a glance

Pomaria Road School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 447 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 487. The school has been open since 1963.

With 447 students on roll, Pomaria Road School is a large school — larger than about 77% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 487, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Pasifika at 47.9% and Asian at 31.1%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.25 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
