About Bohally Intermediate

Bohally Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Blenheim, within the Marlborough Region, operating in the state sector, with 533 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 459. The school has been open since 1958.

With 533 students on roll, Bohally Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 83% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 459, 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.

78.9% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 8.6%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.46 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
