What is a school zone?
In NZ, state schools have defined enrolment zones. Living in-zone guarantees a place at that school.

Use the Ministry of Education’s zone finder to verify your property’s school zones before buying.
Zone impact on prices
Properties in catchments for top-decile NZ schools typically command a premium of 15–30%.
School decile ratings
NZ schools are rated Decile 1–10 based on community socioeconomic factors. Higher isn’t always better — look for best fit.
