Riverhead School

Riverhead School is a co-educational full primary school in Riverhead, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 476 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 389. The school has been open since 1872.

With 476 students on roll, Riverhead School is a large school — larger than about 79% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 389, 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 74 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

79.2% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 12.2%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.52 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
