Tokoroa Intermediate

Tokoroa Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Tokoroa, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 275 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 519. The school has been open since 1962.

With 275 students on roll, Tokoroa Intermediate is a medium-sized school — larger than about 58% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 519, 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 56 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 51.1% and Pasifika at 36.7%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.87 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
