About Warkworth School

Warkworth School is a co-educational contributing school in Warkworth, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 648 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 433. The school has been open since 1870.

With 648 students on roll, Warkworth School is a large school — larger than about 88% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 433, 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.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.64 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
