Naenae Intermediate

Naenae Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Lower Hutt, within the Wellington Region, operating in the state sector, with 296 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 483. The school has been open since 1957.

With 296 students on roll, Naenae Intermediate is a medium-sized school — larger than about 61% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 483, 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 roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 49.2% and Pasifika at 25.4%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.12 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
