Rutherford School

Rutherford School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 301 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 433. The school has been open since 1961.

With 301 students on roll, Rutherford School is a large school — larger than about 61% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 433, which is 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 roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 33.3% and Asian at 30.8%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.31 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
