About Hutt Intermediate

Hutt Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Lower Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 604 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 412. The school has been open since 1948.

With 604 students on roll, Hutt Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 87% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 412, 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 51 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 53.8% and Asian at 32.2%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.05 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
