Western Heights School (Auckland)

Western Heights School (Auckland) is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 653 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 395. The school has been open since 1978.

With 653 students on roll, Western Heights School (Auckland) is a large school — larger than about 88% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 395, 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 68 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 50.1% and European at 30.3%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.23 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
