Rotorua Intermediate

Rotorua Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Rotorua, within the Bay of Plenty Region, operating in the state sector, with 654 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 505. The school has been open since 1957.

With 654 students on roll, Rotorua Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 88% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 505, 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 gap of 42 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 59.2%, with a meaningful Asian community at 20.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.25 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
