About Te Kamo Intermediate School

Te Kamo Intermediate School is a co-educational intermediate school in Whangarei, within the Northland Region, operating in the state sector, with 622 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 482. The school has been open since 1963.

With 622 students on roll, Te Kamo Intermediate School is a large school — larger than about 87% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 482, 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.

79.8% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Pasifika descent make up 9.6%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.69 (moderate isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
