Waiheke Primary School

Waiheke Primary School is a co-educational full primary school in Waiheke Island, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 277 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 411. The school has been open since 2005.

With 277 students on roll, Waiheke Primary School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 58% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 411, 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 52 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

80.9% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Middle Eastern / Latin American / African descent make up 6.7%.

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.
