Papatoetoe Intermediate

Papatoetoe Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 721 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 477. The school has been open since 1953.

With 721 students on roll, Papatoetoe Intermediate is a very large school — larger than about 90% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 477, 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 Asian at 52.4% and Pasifika at 39.5%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.06 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
