St Joseph's Maori Girls' College

St Joseph's Maori Girls' College is a girls school secondary (year 7-15) school in Napier, within the Hawke's Bay Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 172 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 515. The school has been open since 1867.

With 172 students on roll, St Joseph's Maori Girls' College is a medium-sized school — larger than about 42% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 515, which is above the national average of 463. A higher Equity Index signals greater socio-economic need in the school's community — schools in this band receive more targeted government funding and support. The gap of 52 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The largest group is European at 68.4%, with a meaningful Pasifika community at 26.3% — a mixed but clearly led roll.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.21 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
