About Murrays Bay Intermediate

Murrays Bay Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 1,124 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 372. The school has been open since 1958.

With 1,124 students on roll, Murrays Bay Intermediate is a very large school — larger than about 95% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 372, which is well below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm. The gap of 91 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 53.8% and European at 36.2%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.22 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
