About Waiuku Primary School

Waiuku Primary School is a co-educational full primary school in Waiuku, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 365 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 453. The school has been open since 1873.

With 365 students on roll, Waiuku Primary School is a large school — larger than about 69% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 453, 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.

The largest group is European at 73.5%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 13.7% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.42 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
