About Westbrook School

Westbrook School is a co-educational contributing school in Rotorua, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 491 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 475. The school has been open since 1970.

With 491 students on roll, Westbrook School is a large school — larger than about 80% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 475, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

77.6% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 12.5%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.31 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
