About Stella Maris Primary School

Stella Maris Primary School is a co-educational contributing school in Silverdale, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 392 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 380. The school has been open since 2005.

With 392 students on roll, Stella Maris Primary School is a large school — larger than about 72% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 380, 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 83 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 70.2%, with a meaningful Asian community at 20.8% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.48 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
