About Rānui Primary School

Rānui Primary School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 413 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 519. The school has been open since 1960.

With 413 students on roll, Rānui Primary School is a large school — larger than about 74% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 519, 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 56 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 61.7%, with a meaningful European community at 15.5% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.3 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
