About Otahuhu Intermediate

Otahuhu Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 377 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 502. The school has been open since 1963.

With 377 students on roll, Otahuhu Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 71% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 502, 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 largest group is Pasifika at 61%, with a meaningful Asian community at 28.9% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.13 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
