The Cristo Rey Network® is a national association of high schools that provide quality, Catholic, college preparatory education to urban young people who live in communities with limited educational options. Most of our students qualify for the federal free or reduced lunch program. Member schools utilize a longer school day and year, academic assistance, and counseling to prepare students with a broad range of academic abilities for college. All students at Cristo Rey Network schools participate in a work study program through which they finance the majority of the cost of their education, gain real world job experience, grow in self-confidence, and realize the relevance of their education.


During the 2006-07 school year, 2,882 students are enrolled in the 12 Cristo Rey schools, which are located in Cambridge (MA), Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Kansas City (MO), Lawrence (MA), Los Angeles , New York City, Portland (OR), Sacramento , Tucson , and Waukegan (IL). Ninety-two percent of the students are racial minorities, and the average family income of this year's 9th grade class is $33,051. Ninety-six percent of last year's graduates enrolled in college in the fall of 2006. Seven schools are scheduled to open in 2007.

This website is designed to provide information and best practices to member schools and to help groups endeavoring to start new schools, those wishing to become corporate sponsors, foundation partners, and others who want to learn more about the Cristo Rey Network. If you have any questions or suggestions about the website, please direct them to Kristy Blackmore.
