Manukorihi Intermediate at a glance

Manukorihi Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Waitara, within the Taranaki Region, operating in the state sector, with 210 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 512. The school has been open since 1974.

With 210 students on roll, Manukorihi Intermediate is a medium-sized school — larger than about 49% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 512, 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 49 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

90.6% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 5.5%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
