About Ōtūmoetai Intermediate

Ōtūmoetai Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Tauranga, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 956 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 440. The school has been open since 1858.

With 956 students on roll, Ōtūmoetai Intermediate is a very large school — larger than about 94% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 440, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.2 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
