Red Beach School at a glance

Red Beach School is a co-educational contributing school in Red Beach, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 486 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 409. The school has been open since 1989.

With 486 students on roll, Red Beach School is a large school — larger than about 80% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 409, 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 54 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 73.7%, with a meaningful Asian community at 15.6% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.51 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
