About Te Uru Karaka Newton Central School

Te Uru Karaka Newton Central School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 314 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 391. The school has been open since 1923.

With 314 students on roll, Te Uru Karaka Newton Central School is a large school — larger than about 62% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 391, 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 72 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 57.4%, with a meaningful Asian community at 18.5% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

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.
