About Richmond Road School

Richmond Road School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 293 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 403. The school has been open since 1884.

With 293 students on roll, Richmond Road School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 60% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 403, 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 60 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 52.4% and Pasifika at 33.6%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.11 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
