About Blockhouse Bay Intermediate

Blockhouse Bay Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 840 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 401. The school has been open since 1959.

With 840 students on roll, Blockhouse Bay Intermediate is a very large school — larger than about 93% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 401, which is well below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm. The gap of 62 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Asian at 60.5%, with a meaningful European community at 19.8% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.14 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
