With 314 students on roll, Our Lady of Kapiti School is a large school — larger than about 62% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 402, 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 61 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.16 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
