St Ignatius of Loyola Catholic College at a glance

St Ignatius of Loyola Catholic College is a co-educational secondary (year 7-15) school in Drury, within the Auckland Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 608 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 419. The school has been open since 2024.

With 608 students on roll, St Ignatius of Loyola Catholic College is a large school — larger than about 87% of New Zealand schools. Its rural setting typically means smaller class groups and a close-knit community feel.

The school's Equity Index is 419, 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 44 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 54.1% and Asian at 25.9%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.34 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
