About Maidstone Intermediate

Maidstone Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Upper Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 558 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 470. The school has been open since 1970.

With 558 students on roll, Maidstone Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 84% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 470, 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 72.3%, with a meaningful Asian community at 13.5% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.04 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
