About Maeroa Intermediate

Maeroa Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Hamilton, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 701 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 495. The school has been open since 1954.

With 701 students on roll, Maeroa Intermediate is a very large school — larger than about 90% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 495, 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 58.1%, with a meaningful Asian community at 17.5% — 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.
