Westbridge Residential School

Westbridge Residential School is a co-educational specialist school school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 5 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 553. The school has been open since 1981.

With 5 students on roll, Westbridge Residential School is a very small school — larger than about 3% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 553, which is well above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 90 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 66.7%, with a meaningful Asian community at 33.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.47 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
