About Wilson School

Wilson School is a co-educational specialist school school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 138 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 440. The school has been open since 1939.

With 138 students on roll, Wilson School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 35% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 440, which is 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 roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 49% and Asian at 33.6%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.16 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
