About Stanmore Bay School

Stanmore Bay School is a co-educational contributing school in Whangaparaoa, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 514 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 426. The school has been open since 1979.

With 514 students on roll, Stanmore Bay School is a large school — larger than about 82% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 426, 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 0.61 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
