About Waiheke High School

Waiheke High School is a co-educational secondary (year 7-15) school in Waiheke Island, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 388 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 442. The school has been open since 1986.

With 388 students on roll, Waiheke High School is a large school — larger than about 72% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 442, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

79.3% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 9.5%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.59 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
