About Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate Junior School

Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate Junior School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 361 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 517. The school has been open since 1858.

With 361 students on roll, Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate Junior School is a large school — larger than about 69% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 517, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 54 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

91.7% of students identify as Pasifika, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 4.7%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.11 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
