With 116 students on roll, Kaitoke School (Wanganui) is a medium-sized school — larger than about 29% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 453, 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.

84.1% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Middle Eastern / Latin American / African descent make up 8%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.37 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
