About Rodney College

Rodney College is a co-educational secondary (year 9-15) school in Wellsford, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 357 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 489. The school has been open since 1962.

With 357 students on roll, Rodney College is a large school — larger than about 68% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 489, 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.

79.7% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 9%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.06 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
