Northcross Intermediate has a socio-economic decile of 10Z, meaning that it gets students from higher socio-economic areas compared to other New Zealand schools, such as areas like in the East Coast Bays, and other high socio-economic areas. Northcross Intermediate generally performs better than schools that have greater socio-economic disadvantage, which is to be expected.
