Bucklands Beach Intermediate at a glance

Bucklands Beach Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 962 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 367. The school has been open since 1976.

With 962 students on roll, Bucklands Beach Intermediate is a very large school — larger than about 94% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 367, 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 96 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Asian at 66.5%, with a meaningful European community at 24.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.4 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
