Northcross Intermediate

Northcross Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 1,532 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 394. The school has been open since 1970.

With 1,532 students on roll, Northcross Intermediate is a one of the largest school — larger than about 98% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 394, 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 69 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 52.8% and European at 35.4%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.21 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
