Invercargill Middle School is a co-educational contributing school in Invercargill, within the Southland Region, operating in the state sector, with 155 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 484. The school has been open since 1873.

With 155 students on roll, Invercargill Middle School is a medium-sized school — larger than about 39% of New Zealand schools.
