About Waikowhai Intermediate

Waikowhai Intermediate is a co-educational intermediate school in Auckland, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state sector, with 340 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 442. The school has been open since 1967.

With 340 students on roll, Waikowhai Intermediate is a large school — larger than about 66% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 442, which is 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 roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with Asian at 39% and Pasifika at 27.7%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.29 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
