Balmacewen Intermediate

Balmacewen Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Dunedin, within the Otago Region, operating in the state sector, with 476 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 425. The school has been open since 1964.

With 476 students on roll, Balmacewen Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 79% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 425, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

79.6% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 9.4%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.08 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
