Willowbank School (Howick)

Willowbank School (Howick) is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 740 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 374. The school has been open since 2001.

With 740 students on roll, Willowbank School (Howick) is a very large school — larger than about 91% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 374, 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 89 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Asian at 64.9%, with a meaningful European community at 15% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.21 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
