About Sandspit Road School

Sandspit Road School is a co-educational full primary school in Waiuku, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 270 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 459. The school has been open since 1969.

With 270 students on roll, Sandspit Road School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 57% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 459, 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.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.44 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
