With 526 students on roll, John McGlashan College is a large school — larger than about 83% of New Zealand schools.
The school's Equity Index is 390, which is well 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 gap of 73 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.08 (very low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
Total roll recorded: 526 students, from the 2026 roll census. Percentages may not sum to exactly 100% because of rounding and students who decline to state an ethnicity.
