Upper Harbour Primary School at a glance

Upper Harbour Primary School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 376 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 351. The school has been open since 2005.

With 376 students on roll, Upper Harbour Primary School is a large school — larger than about 71% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 351, 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 112 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Asian at 67.3%, with a meaningful European community at 21.8% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.2 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
