Fairfield Intermediate

Fairfield Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Hamilton, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 886 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 475. The school has been open since 1963.

With 886 students on roll, Fairfield Intermediate is a very large school — larger than about 93% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 475, 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 largest group is European at 56.9%, with a meaningful Asian community at 20.4% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.12 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
