About St Thomas School (Auckland)

St Thomas School (Auckland) is a co-educational full primary school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 821 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 377. The school has been open since 1954.

With 821 students on roll, St Thomas School (Auckland) is a very large school — larger than about 92% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 377, 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 86 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 44.7% and Asian at 37.8%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.27 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
