About Somerville Intermediate School

Somerville Intermediate School is a co-educational intermediate school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 971 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 387. The school has been open since 1997.

With 971 students on roll, Somerville Intermediate School is a very large school — larger than about 94% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 387, 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 76 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is Asian at 55%, with a meaningful European community at 30.8% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.34 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
