Kaitaia Intermediate

Kaitaia Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Kaitaia, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 215 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 541. The school has been open since 1968.

With 215 students on roll, Kaitaia Intermediate is a medium-sized school — larger than about 50% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 541, which is well above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 78 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 65.2%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 22.8% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 2.56 (very high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
