About Sunnyvale School

Sunnyvale School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 527 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 477. The school has been open since 1959.

With 527 students on roll, Sunnyvale School is a large school — larger than about 83% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 477, 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 roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Pasifika at 39.7% and European at 27.5%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.14 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
