The Auckland region is the most populous region of New Zealand, containing the country's most populous city, Auckland, as well the towns of Wellsford, Warkworth, Helensville, the Hibiscus Coast, Pukekohe and Waiuku and their surrounding rural areas, plus many islands in the Hauraki Gulf including Waiheke Island and Great Barrier Island. It contains a few small rural primary schools, some small town primary and secondary schools, and a large number of city schools. As of June 2011, there are 538 primary and secondary schools in Auckland, enrolling over 267,000 students.
In New Zealand schools, students begin formal education in Year 1 at the age of five. Year 13 is the traditional final year of secondary education, although students are entitled to stay in secondary school until the end of the calendar year of their 19th birthday if need be. The list of schools below is broken up into primary and intermediate schools, which includes contributing primary schools (Years 1–6), full primary schools (Years 1–8), and intermediate schools (Years 7 and 8); secondary schools, which includes normal secondary schools (Years 9-13), secondary schools with intermediate (Years 7–13), junior secondary schools (Years 7–10) and senior secondary schools (Years 11–13); composite schools (Years 1–13); and special schools and teen parent units. Primary and intermediate schools are further broken up into the local board of the Auckland Council in which each school is located.
State schools are those fully funded by the government and at which no fees for tuition of domestic students (i.e. New Zealand citizens and permanent residents, and Australian citizens) can be charged, although a donation is commonly requested. A state integrated school is a former private school with a special character based on a religious or philosophical belief that has been integrated into the state system. State integrated schools charge "attendance dues" to cover the building and maintenance of school buildings, which are not owned by the government, but otherwise they like state schools cannot charge fees for tuition of domestic students but may request a donation. Private schools charge fees to its students for tuition, as do state and state integrated schools for tuition of international students.
The roll of each school changes frequently as students start school for the first time, move between schools, and graduate. The rolls given here are those provided by the Ministry of Education, and are based on figures from The equity index (EQI) is a measure of the average socioeconomic status of the school's roll: the higher the number, the more socioeconomic barriers students face to achievement. For statistical purposes, schools are banded into seven bands based on their EQI and the barriers faced: fewest, few, below average, average, above average, many, and most. The EQI and band given here are based on figures from The Ministry of Education institution number links to the Education Counts page for each school.
Primary and intermediate schools Unless otherwise stated, all primary and intermediate schools in the Auckland region are coeducational.
