Silverdale School

Silverdale School is a co-educational contributing school in Silverdale, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 644 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 382. The school has been open since 1869.

With 644 students on roll, Silverdale School is a large school — larger than about 88% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 382, 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 81 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 59.7%, with a meaningful Asian community at 32.1% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.5 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
