With 5 students on roll, St Joseph's School (Patea) is a very small school — larger than about 3% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 544, which is well 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 81 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

100% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Māori descent make up 0%.

On the isolation index the school scores 1.29 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
