About Yendarra School

Yendarra School is a co-educational contributing school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 231 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 512. The school has been open since 1968.

With 231 students on roll, Yendarra School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 52% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 512, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 49 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

90% of students identify as Pasifika, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 7%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.1 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
