About Sancta Maria Catholic Primary School

Sancta Maria Catholic Primary School is a co-educational contributing school in Manukau, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 386 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 367. The school has been open since 2009.

With 386 students on roll, Sancta Maria Catholic Primary School is a large school — larger than about 72% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 367, 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 96 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Asian at 66%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 15.7% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.16 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
