About Peachgrove Intermediate

Peachgrove Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Hamilton, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 531 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 485. The school has been open since 1957.

With 531 students on roll, Peachgrove Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 83% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 485, 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 34% and Asian at 32.3%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.09 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
