Ponsonby Intermediate

Ponsonby Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 590 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 380. The school has been open since 1977.

With 590 students on roll, Ponsonby Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 86% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 380, 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 83 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 49.9% and Asian at 39.5%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.1 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
