About South Auckland Middle School

South Auckland Middle School is a co-educational restricted composite (year 7-10) school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 176 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 488. The school has been open since 2019.

With 176 students on roll, South Auckland Middle School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 43% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 488, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

The largest group is Pasifika at 58.2%, with a meaningful Asian community at 23.7% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.26 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
