Takapuna School

Takapuna School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 385 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 375. The school has been open since 1877.

With 385 students on roll, Takapuna School is a large school — larger than about 72% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 375, 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 88 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 48.9% and European at 34.5%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.09 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
