About Avondale Intermediate

Avondale Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 385 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 474. The school has been open since 1945.

With 385 students on roll, Avondale Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 72% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 474, which is close to the national average of 463. That means the roll faces a broadly typical level of socio-economic challenge compared with schools across Aotearoa.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 42.7% and Pasifika at 33.2%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.17 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
