About Masterton Intermediate
Masterton Intermediate (MIS) is an intermediate school located in Masterton, New Zealand, serving students in the intermediate school years. It is not a faith-based, Māori-medium, or area school.
The school organises its expectations around a set of values it calls ADMIRE, an acronym covering six dispositions: Active, Dependable, Managing self, Involved, Relationships, and Excellence. These values apply to both students and staff.
The school's stated vision is "a thriving, diverse and modern community of lifelong learners."
School donations
The Ministry of Education profile states that: "Donations should not be requested, unless for a school camp".
With an Equity Index of 483, Masterton Intermediate is in the range eligible to opt into the Ministry's donations scheme — receiving additional government funding per student in exchange for not seeking donations (except for overnight camps).
Check directly with the school for current charges, contributions or other costs. Learn more on the donations scheme or fees and charges at school, both on education.govt.nz.
Equity Index
The Ministry publishes this figure as a bare number — KuraData shows it against the directory-wide average, so you can see where Masterton Intermediate actually sits, not just the number on its own.
The Equity Index estimates the socio-economic barriers students face, on average, and is used to inform government funding and support. It is not a measure of school quality or academic performance.
Higher values indicate a higher level of estimated socio-economic barriers; lower values indicate fewer. Learn how the Equity Index is calculated →
Student ethnicity
The Ministry publishes this as a raw table — here it's visualised directly against Masterton Intermediate's own roll, so the shape of it is clear at a glance.
- European — 254 students (74.9%)
- Asian — 21 students (6.2%)
- Pacific — 26 students (7.7%)
- Māori — 123 students (36.3%)
- MELAA — 8 students (2.4%)
- Other — 2 students (0.6%)
Percentages may sum to more than 100% because students can identify with more than one ethnic group.
