The San Miguel School was founded in 1993 to provide a broad and complete education for city boys in grades five through eight. These are often boys who have had difficulty in their previous schools. These challenges usually included truancy, behavior problems, lack of interest, and poor academic performance. Many of the youth served (48% Latino, 39% African-American, 8% Asian, and 5% Caucasian) live in high crime, economically deprived neighborhoods, lack consistent discipline, and have weak family structures. The San Miguel School, a Lasallian school, exists first and foremost to offer a quality education to those in need. Priority is given to boys from challenging circumstances who are in need of extra support to be able to attend to the tasks involved in learning. The San Miguel School is a middle school where there is a focus on the positive. In a structured and caring environment each " Miguel Man " is encouraged to learn, to serve, and to grow to the best of his ability.
