About Westlake Girls' High School

Westlake Girls' High School is a girls school secondary (year 9-15) school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 2,297 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 403. The school has been open since 1957.

With 2,297 students on roll, Westlake Girls' High School is a one of the largest school — larger than about 99% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 403, 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 60 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 41.8% and Asian at 41.1%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.03 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
