Kelston Intermediate

Kelston Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 405 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 504. The school has been open since 1968.

With 405 students on roll, Kelston Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 74% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 504, which is 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 41 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Pasifika at 63.3%, with a meaningful Asian community at 17.6% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.09 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
