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.

State schools are those fully funded by the government and at which no fees for tuition of domestic students 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.
