With 722 students on roll, St Patrick's College (Kilbirnie) is a very large school — larger than about 90% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 417, 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 46 points is substantial enough to matter when comparing schools.

The roll is genuinely diverse: no single ethnic group dominates, with European at 46.4% and Pasifika at 25.9%. Diversity of this kind is common in urban New Zealand schools.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.14 (low isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
