1389 East Santa Clara Street San José, CA 95116 408-293-0425 cristoreysanjose.org Dr. Margaret Higgins Joe Albers Todd Hicks Jenny Uribe President Principal Director, University Access & Success College Access Counselor [email protected] [email protected] 2019-20 School Profile Mission & Student Demographics Cristo Rey San José (CRSJ) is a Jesuit, Catholic high school that empowers students from underserved communities in San José to be men and women for others who are prepared spiritually, academically, and professionally to complete college and who will become accomplished leaders committed to a lifelong pursuit of learning, faith, and justice. All CRSJ students come from low- income families. Over 70% of the school population is eligible for the Free or Reduced Lunch Program. The high cost of housing in the Bay Area distorts household income relative to national averages. Total Enrollment: 462 Male: 46% Female: 54% Free/Reduced Lunch: 75% Latinx / Hispanic: 91.5% 1st Gen: 91.6% The Corporate Work Study Program As part of the Cristo Rey Network, CRSJ students participate in a Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP). Student go to work 5 days each month during the school year to help cover the cost of their college prep education. As a result, students typically have 4 days of classes per week, and most will graduate with over 1,000 hours of work experience.
