Current enrollment is 296, with 71 on the staff. About 97% of the students are Hispanic.^[4]

There are currently over 100 corporate partners that employ San Miguel students as part of the national Cristo Rey Network Corporate Work Study program.^[5] Videos are available on various aspects of the San Miguel experience.^[6]
